Sunday, June 04, 2006 - Silver Falls: We headed out at around 10:00am. This ride covers aproximatly 56 miles round trip and takes roughly 2 1/2 hours to complete including a couple rest stops to enjoy the view and allow everyone to regroup. This is a very casual and enjoyable ride. The first leg of the ride is to the North Falls of the Silver Falls State Park and takes about 40 minutes. There we make a short stop to let everyone catch up, maybe have a soda, stretch our legs and enjoy the view. Next we head into Silverton which is about a 35 minute drive through some very lovely country side. Once we reach town we make a shot stop at the Safeway on Westfield St. just to make sure everyone has caught up. We make the drive back into Salem by way of Silverton Rd. to Howell Prairie Rd. and State St. which takes about 20 minutes. We end our trib 10 minutes later back in the Mission St. K-Mart parking lot where we started our ride. Download the full map.
