I rode Marmot and Ten Eyck as well today, along with some other roads northeast of PDX.
Our group passed a large group of porsches, maybe twenty.
The roads were pretty clean though there were a couple of areas with gravel and road debris.
Oh cool... were you out in the morning? I didn't see any fellow Ducatisti on Saturday, which kinda surprised me considering the perfect weather and distance traveled.
Ditto your experience on the roads... most were fine, but there were a couple hair-raising corners with gravel in the middle of the lane.
I was also having a minor issue with the bike missing downshifts... I was finding false neutrals when downshifting between 4th and 3rd, and sometimes between 3rd and 2nd. Makes for interesting cornering when ya downshift, let out the clutch, and realise a half-second later that you're coasting!
Especially goin' into some of those really gnarly downhill 15mph corners on Marmot. Blech... those aren't fun.

Yes, we were there in the morning. The group I ran with left from the airport around 10 and was eating lunch in Welches around noon. I didn't feel like going all the way back into town, then heading back home to Welches so I just went home. The rest of them took the same Marmot-Ten Eyck route back into Portland.

Road Trip 101
It is a long damn way from Portland to John Day (especially on a monster).
250 miles yesterday.
280 miles today.
Some lessons learned:
1. Cow poop is slippery.
2. Gravel is slippery.
3. At a certain velocity, aerodynamic pressure will overwhelm the spring-loaded detents on the CRG Lane Splitter mirrors and cause them to fold back. (ahem - no actual numbers will be posted here on the Interwebz).
4. At or very near the same velocity mentioned above, the rain-shield cover of a Coretech tail bag will also detach and blow away, but may retrieved by your buddy riding behind you in the slower non-Ducati bike and returned at the next stop, for which one is ever grateful.
That is all.
