This is one crazy ride!

Nearly 8000 ft of climbing in ~50 miles just minutes from Downtown Portland traversing the West Hills, RondePDX is the stuff legends are made of. Named in honor of Belgium’s legendary Tour of Flanders (De Ronde van Vlaanderen), this route mimics that One Day Classic’s profile – not long climbs, but lots of short, steep, treacherous ones.
