Here is my writeup from the last time I rode that very Populaire: http://lynnerides.blogspot.com/2011/05/bonus-sunny-snooseville-populaire.html
Likely to be food at the turnaround at the end of Dairy Creek, certainly food in Banks and Forest Grove (Maggies Buns!), and, of course, food at the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse at the end. Food in North Plains, too, but that's early in the ride. I generally don't carry much more than a banana and bar or cookies or a sandwich on this one, and that includes riding to and from the ride (+18 miles) You'll have fun. People will be happier riding with you if you've got fenders and proper mudflaps. There will be a card. You will need to collect receipts and/or signatures (depends on the control). Bring a ziploc-type bag and a pencil. Also consider how you will keep your cue sheet dry and accessible.
