Champoeg Century 2014 - route review
Channel: TopTube Cycling Videos
Date: 2014-10-30

This is a 105 mile loop through the Willamette Valley, starting and ending at Champoeg Park.  The first 34 and the last 33 miles of the route follow the Monster Cookie Metric Century hosted by the Salem Bicycle Club.  For the middle third of the ride we added a 35 mile loop on Howell Prairie, east and north of Salem.

Many of the riders opted to shorten the ride using 50 and 66 mile route options.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a difficult route.  Much of the route is on narrow rural roads with automobile traffic (including tourists), commercial truck traffic and farm machinery.
