Aufderheide Bike Ride

May 13, 2007

Mother Earth came through on Mother’s Day, with a sunny, pleasantly cool day for the beautiful bike ride on Aufderheide Road (Forest Service Road 19). We drove up to Blue River, and parked at the base of Aufderheide. From there we pedaled up to Cougar Reservoir, rolled through the forested hills alongside the South Fork McKenzie, and then made the final climb up to Box Canyon. After lying down in the middle of the road to celebrate the lack of traffic, we had a quick lunch, and then glided back down to the car. We agreed that this side of Aufderheide is a little prettier and slightly easier than the Oakridge side—although both sides offer great cycling.

Bikers were: Sam Miller and Sue Wolling, leader.
