 Lewiston has an annual bike ride up it's famous hill with T-shirts that read, "I made the grade." Lewiston Grade is almost a bike route now. It's the old highway, sometimes called the "Old spiral highway." A new grade has been built more recently. It carries the serious traffic allowing the old hill to take on more of a tourist mood. With many switch backs and hairpin turns, the old road was a feat in its own day. It starts out as a fairly busy truck route to a port on the north side of the river, but soon the two roads part company and the old Lewiston Grade becomes delightfully un crowded for those who have the energy for climbing. Coming down can be a workout for fingers on the brakes.
