Title: Portland area rides Post by: cloud2blue on June 14, 2008, 05:12:52 PM 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.
(http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ch/2008/ch080614.gif) 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.

Title: Re: Portland area rides Post by: NEIKOS on June 19, 2008, 05:04:37 AM 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! [clap] Title: Re: Portland area rides Post by: SaltLick on June 19, 2008, 05:55:02 AM Yah it's a nice ride.
