Oregon Day Trip

I like ride reports from multi-day trips, but I had such a good time Saturday, I figured I'd share.

 

Five of us met up at 8am near Portland, Oregon for a fun ride across the Cascade mountains and into Central Oregon. We covered 370 miles, which is a long day for most of us. We stayed along the Columbia River for the first couple hours then headed south.

As we headed SE toward Condon, the scenery changes.

Condon is the first of the small towns we'll see today. Decent lunch stop.

Good burger, tots, and shake. Locals were happy because I guess it just reopened under new owners in the last few days.

Thanks for the great pics. I'm originally from Portland, many moons ago. I sure liked riding around the area. My son lives in Portland, so I get out there to see him at least once a year.

 

I'll be out in Portland the second week of June this year; memorial service and interment for my mom at Willamette National. While there, I'm picking up a K75s to ride back to Helena. Wanna ride along?

 

Thanks,

Mark

Fun. I live 1 mile from Willamette National. Have a great ride back. I wish I had a flexible enough schedule to add a few fun days of riding!
