Independence via Jefferson on the WVSB

Gave trucker 2 a good shake down ride today. I wanted to see what the route was like on the Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway going north from Albany. Getting through Albany was a pain and between Albany and Jefferson the route crossed several very busy roads. Then once your on Scravel Hill road there are some hills and nicer country. Coming into Jefferson you cross the Santiam River. North of Jefferson everything quiets down and the riding gets mellow. Then, after the Buena Vista ferry the road starts climbing Anekey Hill for some nice ups and downs before getting back on the flat before the bridge to Independence. Came back on Buena Vista road and Independence hwy.
It got quite hot today. Beautiful but a little much for April.
