Proposed Bonus Day Ride Tumalo SP to Tumalo Falls Loop



So far this ride is not on the schedule as we have run out of days. We might want to keep this one in case Day 1 kicks our bu** and we want an easier day. Either way, I made elevation maps for it.

Proposed Day 5 Ride Tumalo SP to Smith Rocks SP



This ride goes from Tumalo State Park almost to Prineville and then back to Smith Rocks. We would need a pickup at Smith Rocks to either go home or back to camp for one last night.

Proposed Day 4 Ride LaPine SP to Paulina Lake Loop


This day the mountains don't look that bad compared to Day 1! We would need a drop=off and pick up at LaPine State Park.

Proposed Day 3 Ride Elk Lake Cutoff To Sunriver



This is a day we get shuttled to the cutoff to Elk Lake and ride to Sunriver. We would also need a shuttle from Sunriver to Tumalo State Park.

Proposed Day 2 Ride Camp Sherman to Tumalo SP



This second day looks quite a bit easier as it is mostly downhill or flat. (We did all the uphill yesterday!) I made the route go a bit north into Terrabone for added scenery and miles.

Proposed Day 1 Ride Sweet Home to Camp Sherman



This would be starting from somewhere east of Sweet Home because as it stands now we would be riding 35 miles UPHILL with another 17 miles until to crest of the second hill and we haven't even made it to Camp Sherman yet! Not sure if we want that but look at the pictures.

01-06-10 Update: I did some quick math (someone will check I'm sure to see if I got it right) but for the first 25 miles the grade is only .97%. Not too bad. It's the next 10 miles that are going to be a butt burner. I get a 5.7% grade!
