Description:
This is a "Favorite Route". The route starts just north of the Willamette River and heads south into the Willamette Valley as far a McKenzie. The route is fairly flat, and in some locations, dead flat. Controls will be in Scio, Sweet Home, Mohawk Post, Harrisburg and Independance. You'll see a seven covered bridges, lots of farms, some forests and generally you're very close to the Willamette River.

Little things you shouldn't forget:

• Pencil - There are lots of Info Controls that require you to write down an answer.
• Front and Rear lights - At least one rear & one front light must be mounted on the bicycle.
• Refective Vest or Sash
• Reflective Ankle Bands

In and about Newberg. There is a 24-Hr Sharis and usual Fast Food fare. Pascale's Italian is a pizza and pasta favorite for years.
