Title: Ride 8/23 Post by: krolik on August 21, 2008, 10:49:17 PM Since the Hood to Coast is this weekend, and that means the good route to the west are blocked, how about an eastern ride?
Meet at MotoCorsa at 9:55 am. ;D Title: Re: Ride 8/23 Post by: desmosome on August 22, 2008, 12:18:42 PM :'(

Title: Re: Ride 8/23 Post by: ryandalling on August 22, 2008, 01:15:50 PM You got a route planned mr veektoor? Trying to feegure if I got time... maybe we should attempt the fabled Estacada to Detroit loop.

Title: Re: Ride 8/23 Post by: duc_fan on August 22, 2008, 03:50:04 PM Hmm, methinks I'm gonna try to show up. The weather is beautiful... need to go for a real ride, not this around-town crap. [moto]
Title: Re: Ride 8/23 Post by: JohnnyDucati on August 22, 2008, 04:49:49 PM Everybody remembers that Hood-to-Coast is this weekend, right?
I think it would be wise to avoid that route. Timberline, Sandy, Gresham, Pdx, St. Helens, Vernonia, Mist, Coast Highway 53, etc. Dang it if they didn't pick some great ridin' roads. Cougar, anyone? Title: Re: Ride 8/23 Post by: duc_fan on August 22, 2008, 07:07:09 PM Cougar?
That'd be cool... since I've never been up there. And the weather is great, so I really need to go for a good ride this weekend. However, I also need to work on my garage. The week of Labor Day I'm taking off work, and plan to work on my '86 GTI. My goal is to get it through DEQ, and it minimally needs a battery and catalytic converter. To do this I need to unpack the boxes in my garage so I have some space, and access to my tools. Hmm... decisions, decisions. Well, I can't confirm one way or the other whether I'll be there. If I show up, cool, if not, have a great ride. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Ride 8/23 Post by: morganf on August 22, 2008, 08:09:03 PM Can I play? [moto]
Title: Re: Ride 8/23 Post by: krolik on August 22, 2008, 08:44:48 PM I'm thinkin' that the Cougar Run would be the best bet for a saturday ride. Meet at MotoCorsa at 9:55 AM. [moto] [coffee] [bacon]

Title: Re: Ride 8/23 Post by: morganf on August 23, 2008, 03:33:40 PM Awesome ride today guys! Thanks for leading Victor!
St Helens next time? [beer] Title: Re: Ride 8/23 Post by: krolik on August 23, 2008, 03:36:48 PM Awesome ride today guys! Thanks for leading Victor! St Helens next time? [beer] There's definately a St Helens run in the works before the end of riding season. [evil] Title: Re: Ride 8/23 Post by: JohnnyDucati on August 23, 2008, 04:50:48 PM Dudes,
Today was a good day. I take it everyone stayed safe and had fun. Krolik is a great point man. i'm sorry to ditch you guys for my work buddies, but they had dibs on the ride today. Count me in for the next one. J Title: Re: Ride 8/23 Post by: monsterRS on August 23, 2008, 06:10:18 PM Great ride! The weather couldn't have been better.
Nice seeing everyone. Till next time, [drink] Title: Re: Ride 8/23 Post by: duc_fan on August 23, 2008, 10:43:39 PM Great ride. [moto] Glad I decided to get up this morning. Gonna have to do that one again sometime.
And... I averaged almost 50 mpg over the 220 miles I travelled round-trip from Wilsonville and back. Not sure how I managed that, 'cause I didn't spare the mules in the twisty bits. That was the most fun $17 I've ever spent (on gas, that is). [thumbsup] So yeah, a St. Helens ride is in the future? We'll have to see how my schedule works out, but that sounds cool. Title: Re: Ride 8/23 Post by: scott_araujo on August 24, 2008, 06:21:28 AM Sweet ride guys! Beautiful weather and open roads in the twisty sections. I'm sorry I had to bail halfway through and missed the rest of it.
