À vélo de Gresham à Fairview

Kick off your ride in Gresham, a lively city sitting just east of Portland. Gresham is known for its charming downtown and easy access to the Springwater Corridor—making it a favorite among local cyclists.

Heading north toward Fairview, you’ll cover almost 8 kilometers. The route is mostly chill, with only about 6 meters of total climbing and a gentle descent as you go. More than half the ride takes you on bike paths and quiet roads, so the vibe stays pretty relaxed. There are a few stretches where the surface is a bit mixed—keep an eye out for the occasional unpaved or pebbled patch, but nothing your typical commuter or hybrid bike can’t handle.

You’ll finish up in Fairview, a small city next to the Columbia River with a laid-back, friendly feel. If you have time, explore Fairview’s lake or grab a snack at a local café.

In all, it’s a pleasant, short ride—perfect for clearing your head, commuting, or getting a taste of the east Portland cycling scene!
