    Well went out to Couger Dam thru Brownsville, Springfeild, Couger dam, And ended in Oakridge. Really Hot, 102 at one point. Took in some great scenery, put on 250 miles and burned up some tire. Would have been nicer if I would have had some company. :strong:

    Beautiful ride pics.... thanks for sharing! I am jealous you having all that water and all! I went hiking around that Mackenzie River during my trip somewhere. It looks like your rear shoe is wearing down nicely!

    Dry ain't da word, brudda.
    It was flippin hot down here yesterday, too.
    Looks like a nice ride, whitesmoke.
    I ride alone most of the time too, looking forward to some group rides, especially the West Coaster coming up in August(shameless plug).

    I actually had the pleasure of riding from Cougar dam to Oakridge last week, it was one of the highlights of the trip, here's a pic from Aufderheide right before Cougar dam...

    I agree - Cougar is beautiful country! I've been on a run up there, had a ball. I'm in Aloha, outside of Portland, Whitesmokeyzf - shoot me a PM if you'd like company on your next ride. I used to live in Albany. Foster Dam should also have some great roads left up there!

    Beautiful stuff. It's hard to look at from the work desk.
    Good candidate for a "This is Why we Work" motivational poster!
