So the last time I attempted the Ronde I missed some of the markings, partially due to fatigue, partially due to them being faded in some areas. I missed Brynwood, and College, which are the gnarliest climbs of the whole route.
This time was different. Stocked with enough water and a better understanding of the route, I set out to complete the whole thing. And boy did I.
I wasn’t able to make it to the mountains to ride dirt, but I found quite enough hills to climb right here in Portland. Thanks Ronde.
