Portland area rides

[cloud2blue]

May whatever deity you believe in be praised for the nice weather. Now to fully enjoy it,  I just need to know of some good local rides.



Skyline & Germantown Rd are nice, but I looking for something new.

Tried Detroit Lake, but ran into snow before I got to there. Nice while it lasted, but seriously, snow, June, wtf. Love the twisties between Carver and Barton.

Haven't tried the Cougar Run yet, so I might hit that tomorrow. Anyone know what the possibility of (I can't believe I have to ask this) snow.

I heard of something about a Bull Mountain or something. Anyone know anything about that?

I sure there are a few more, so please share.

We did the Cougar run last month, while there was snow at the top of Old Man Pass, the roads were fine, no gravel.

Bull Run - that's my stomping grounds.  Love that route.

Was that you I saw late sunday afternoon?  Monster, black tank, red frame, or was it silver/gray frame.  I dunno, hell coulda been a SV650.  I was haulin' butt . . .

Are you an east sider, Cloudy?

I just went down the gorge to the Stonehenge war memorial in Maryville, Washington last weekend... about 100 miles each way...makes for a nice afternoon.

Yah it's a nice ride.  If you keep going E on 14 there are a lot of nice long sweepers!  I really enjoyed just tooling along on that road.

BTW I hit McNamee last night on the way to Mase's event with a buddy from work.  LOVED it.  When we got to the end Mike shut off the bike at the stop sign flipped his lid and flipped his lid!  He was super excited about it!  If you haven't done it go do it!
