I know plenty of nice routes around Hillsboro where I used to ride, but now I live in NE PDX and my friend who wants to go for a ride lives in SW. So, any route suggestions for some really easy-going and pleasant for a passenger? Ideally the start point would be close to downtown so we could meet and go from there. |
