Oh, an ancient topic.

It should be possible to make it up there. I think I did make it up to Harbor Freight just south of there.

I think it is a little flatter to the west side, and hillier to the east side (in that region of Portland). Beaverton tends to be fairly flat.

Although, probably some small rolling hills as you head north.

There are some good bike paths, but some of the main roads are narrow and busy.

@ratell mentions OHSU (not Providence) which is on a decent hill, especially if you hit it from the west side. I don't think there were any bike paths anywhere near OHSU (except Terwilliger below it). At least it was all awfully narrow 20 years ago.
