It’s always nice to bond with your parents, but how many people choose to bond over a 100-mile bike ride?

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we talk to Lizzy Acker, trending news reporter for The Oregonian/OregonLive, who spent a warm day this summer on a century ride with her dad.

Taking a route from Portland to Troutdale and back, the father-daughter duo enjoyed a great adventure that included sunshine, river views, lemonade and a just a few challenges on the way.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • How a failed attempt fueled the desire to reach 100 miles.
  • Their route ran largely along bike paths from Portland to Sugarpine Drive-In.
  • What is it like to ride with your dad?
  • How Lizzy is using this experience to get ready for Cycle Oregon.
