It simply crossed my mind that this might be someone playing games and asking for a detailed route that they really are not interested in - and just wanted to see if I will go to the trouble of listing a set of detailed directions.

After reading the subsequent reply above, it then occurred to me that my use of the term "lanes" is a British thing (I'm a Brit). In the UK if you said "take to the lanes", most people, drivers and cyclists alike, would know you meant small roads, in the countryside, typically paved (tarmac for Brits) but lacking any kind of lane markings and are often not wide enough for two vehicles traveling in opposite directions to pass.
Houston, I sincerely apologize about my comment. I live in Sherwood, and although I commute, I want to get into more recreational riding. Getting out of Sherwood in most directions is difficult due to hills and narrow roads, so I really am interested in rides I can take from home without "car-topping". I see people cycling between Sherwood and Newberg on 99W quite a bit, and I reasoned that it was the best way to get west of Newberg.

I'm headed out of town this weekend, but I'll check out your route as soon as I get a chance.

Again, my apologies for the misunderstanding.
