Where can I find routes for longer rides around here? I live in Gladstone, and I don't have a car so I'm riding to wherever these longer rides might start. I'm new to "long" rides, too, by the way - last weekend was my first, a 30 miler down to PSU via Springwater, up Terwilliger past OHSU and down to 43 in Lake O, home via West Linn and Oregon City. Suggestions? Sources? Thanks!

It's about a 60 mile RT from Clackamas to Crown Point. Head north of the 205 bike trail til you hit the Columbia River. Head east on Marine Drive til Troutdale. Follow the signs to the Historic Highway

Hit the West Side. West Union Road takes you out to beautiful rural country with minimal cars and great roads. The area near Pumpkin Ridge is particularly nice.
