A Saturday Century in the Sun!Miles: 95.89 March Miles: 464.56 Year to Date: 1286.94 Mark Janaba and Sal Ortega joined me for a "sufferfest" in the hills above Scott's Mills. We rode out to Marquam. From there, we road Wildcat Road to Leabo Rd and then to Sawtell Rd. We obtained our highest elevation at the intersection of Sawtell and Maple Grove (1,570 feet), which we descended down to the small town of Scott's Mills. At the Scott's Mill Store, we purchased and ate a small lunch before reversing our route and climbing up Maple Grove to Sawtell Rd. There, we descended Leabo Rd to Wilholt. Instead on continuing on Wildcat, we turned to the south so we could climb Bird Rd. This allowed us to return to Scott's Mills for a quick refreshment before heading back to Keizer.
