Chehalem Ridge

Welcome to the Chehalem Ridge route, fellow pedal pushers! This 86.4-mile out-and-back jaunt through Portland, Oregon is a gravel grinder's dream. With a staggering climb of 7,961 feet and a max grade of 18.2%, don't be surprised if your legs are begging for mercy. About half of the route is paved, but the rest is a mixed bag of trails, gravel, and some areas that even we can't figure out. Got a Gravel 40mm+ bike? Great! You'll need it. This ride is as challenging as they come, but hey, we didn't choose the bike life for "easy".
