From 99E, just North of Canby, turn onto South End Road (there is no light), and make a left, following the road North.

You will quickly pass New Era. The origin of the name New Era is unclear, however, some inaccurately relate it to a "Spiritualist Camp" founded in 1873 located near the mill site that was established there in 1868 and continued operation until 1935. A few of the original buildings still exist, but many still have residents, so careful with your explorations.

There are scenic, hilly, winding road for more than two miles. Make a right at Warner Parrott Road, then in less than a mile, make a right on South Leland Road. Follow this winding road across 213, around five miles, through Beavercreek. The road will take a big turn to the right - keep following it all the way around to 211.

You've just completed about 22 miles - and if you followed the speed limit, that took you about 40 minutes.

Your options now for continuing to ride just for fun are

• continue on 211 for a couple of miles to Mollala, a small town with gas and food options (suggestions on this page for rides from Mollala

• continue on 211 in the other direction for almost 20 more miles, through Colton, to Estacada. It will add another 30 - 40 minutes to your trip

• make a right onto South Union Mills Road, to Mulino, where there is a gas station and part of another scenic route, which can add another 30 minutes or an hour to your trip, depending on how much of the route you take.
