Kings Valley - Pedee

Out through Philomath and Wren. Cloudy but warm, with the sun peeking through. Took the road bike to see how it felt after a week on the Trucker. Fist thing I noticed is how much harder you have to squeeze the brakes without disk brakes. Started out kind of slow but picked up as I went. Didn't take Maxwell Cr. Rd. but instead went on to Peede. After crossing the Luckiamute in Kings Valley the road starts to climb again. Several climbs and fast downhills. After Pedee you take Maple Grove Rd. At this point it's only 14 miles from Monmouth. Maple Grove road also has a good climb but after 7 miles hits Airlee Rd. Across 99 to Suver Rd to Corvallis Rd. I missed the turn of to Buena Vista so just headed in on Independence Rd. Did an extra loop through Crescent Valley to get the miles.
