This ride begins in Wilsonville, Oregon and within the first few miles crosses the Canby Ferry, one of three ferries plying Oregon's largest river that is entirely within the state boundries. Once in Canby the route skirts the foothills of the Cascade Mtns but is not in them so much that there is a huge amount of climbing.
There is one 3 mile climb that brings you to just over 1000 ft in elevation at the 32 mile mark but that's it for the major climbing. There are towns (some quite small) spaced about every 25 miles or so where you can rest and resupply. Restroom facilities are numerous as well. This is a good ride for those looking to get in an early season self supported century
