I ride this route occasionally, and it gets kind of boring solo. Does anyone in the area want to join me?

I plan on leaving Corvallis at around 6 AM, taking 99W to McMinnville, then taking 47 the rest of the way into Hillsboro (or taking Westside Road to Carlton before getting on 47 to avoid the second half of McMinnville). I'd like to arrive by around noon. The total distance is a little under 80 miles.

I wasn't anticipating any rest stops, just shoving a few powerbars and water bottles in my jersey.

You got a roadbike I could barrow? :)

EDIT: It is Saturday currently, d'oh.

Nah, no additional bikes. Sorry. :)

The ride was nice, but a bit on the boring side. Made it to Hillsboro at 11:30 then woke someone up to join me long enough to call it a century.

I'm doing this ride again on Thursday morning, if anyone's interested. I need to make it by 10 AM so I'll be leaving Corvallis by 5.

Oregon Southpaw, if I remember another thread of yours, you have a road bike now. :D
