Just another PNW ride

Thought I'd show a couple pics of the ride today..anyone guess where?

 

Man I can't take it no more !!! All those pictures, PM me next time you go on a ride. Is that road the Clatskaine#47 ?

 

Tail of the Dragon!!! No wait....thats TN/NC. ummmm...ok I give. But you are making me very very gealous for all the beatiful scenery and twisty roads. ARRGH!!! lol

 

:biggrin: Hey, get some time off and I'll show you the country side.. Hey, Reg you coming up after the 20th?

 

can't see the pics (here at work) Damn government computers !!!


where do you do most of your riding?
I like to go around the Olympic Peninsula (northwest Wa)

always looking for more PNW riders (vfr or not)

Did you do the Lower Nehalim/Foss Road...

...on this circuit? comments?

 

Sounds familiar. I may have. So yes anytime your up to it I'll meet up. Hey, going on a ride up around Rainier on Sunday you should too.

 

Lower Nehalum

It's east of the Necanicum Hwy, the last leg of the infamous Clatskanie-Nehalum section. It looks like it tracks the railroad which would suggestion it's big sweepers but it looks pretty twisted on the map.

I think on Sunday, my son and I are gonna piece together a bunch of windy roads from Woodinville up to Bellingham and back...

High Bridge Road
Ben Howard Road
Old Machias Highway
Burns Road
Hwy 9, Arlington to Sedro Wooley
Bow Hill Road
Cain Lake/Park Road
Mosquito Lake Road
Southbound on Chuckanut
Improvise last 50m south - maybe ready for some freeway by then.

You should consider submitting some of your ride logs to www.roadsnw.com.

I'll make a point of making good on the coffee offer with you before the riding turns wet. Is Johnson Creek/Skookumchuck worth the trip to Olympia to ride? Or maybe you have some secret paved logging roads out to the west?

RVFR
PM with your address, I'll met you at your house for the ride Sunday, I should learn were you live anyway since it's Grand Central for all the PNW rides. Maybe have time for breakfast? Or should I eat my Captain Crunch and wait for lunch in Packwood...

 

Eat the captain crunch, one nevers nows what'll happen on this one PM on the way; just a side note Buz aka mike is coming down too, so get in touch.

 

Thanks will do.. yea have a couple here and there.

 

Alright, it has been a month, Are you going to tell us where it is, or are you going to keep it a secret. Or do I have to ride it out of ya :biggrin:

 

Yep, you' have to ride it outa me LOL

 

Well the good news is I got the information out of RVFR on which road this is, the bad news is I couldn't ride it out of him. The man has skills.

But the ride yesterday was awesome, RVFR knows the Washington twistys better than Lewis & Clark. How many times can you go on a ride and say you seen Washington's two greatest attractions up close. Mount Rainier and Mount St Helens. I had no idea that the eruption caused so much devastation for that many square miles.

It is like you go from the most scenic area with wildlife and 100-200' trees to a nuclear waste land.

40 bikes on the ride yesterday, never been on a ride that big, but ended up riding in a 6 man group, but that's a different story...:biggrin:

 

You're to kind there RW, you do just fine. Now that was what I call an all out adventure of the wild & wierd kind, glad you had a good time.

 

Saturday (the 2nd of sep) I saw 2 VFR's (one red, one yellow, both 5th gen)
both northbound on I-5 between Cottage Grove and Eugene, oregon (about 3-5 min appart)


then monday (the 4th)
I saw 4 VFR's all 5th and 6th gen bikes
comiing off the seattle bambridge ferry in bambridge island at about 6pm


any of you guys here?

 

Hmm not I, as the sept 2nd was the trip of hell dand how come I don't see these guys Monday I was home cleaning up the bike, but you did say5- 6 gen so that really leaves me out.
