St. Helens and Mt. Hood ride pics
Some shots from last weekend's ride through St. Helens and down to Mt. Hood National Forest. Tons of fun, just a little chilly in spots.

Sure beats the hell out of the soybean fields and gentle sweepers I get to feast on around here.

Great photos, looks like a wonderful ride.

Re: St. Helens and Mt. Hood ride pics
Thanks guys, it was a killer ride, even with the cold and a little rain. Well worth the effort. All in all, we ended up with about 750 miles for the two and a quarter day run.

Re: St. Helens and Mt. Hood ride pics
Looks like you got some of the same rain we did. Got us in Morton, then again towards the turnoff from FR 25. What time did you run through there?

Bridge of the Gods, eh? Is that the one at Cascade Locks? We ended up going the other way and staying the night in Hood River.

Looks like you guys had as much fun as we did, no matter what the weather was like. True Washington riders!

Wow ... that almost makes me miss Oregon.


Oh wait, the rain part ... no it doesn't.

But seriously though, I do miss how beautiful it is up there. We haven't seen rain here for at least 7/8 months and won't for another 4/5. Everything's brown. bleh. Well it ain't called the golden state for being green I'll tell you that much.

Nice pics guys. I think I'm gonna have to make my way up there soon. Go visit friends.

All I can tell you is that bridge is absoutely breathtaking to go over. Definitley not for those who are affraid of heights though.

Looks like you guys had a great time, got to love the NW.

Nope, that's a bit of a haul for me. I limit myself to rides of 3k-5k at a time... in moose free areas!

True.. true.. but most of my time in the last year has been on ADVRider.com. I've gotten bitten by the Adventure Riding bug in a big way.. sold all my street bikes but in the last week relented to the siren song when I found a cherry, mint FZR400R for sale on the side of the road! That was last weekend. This weekend I bought a ratted-our RC51 for just banging around on.

The Fizzer is destined for the track an the RC for parking down-town because it's so beat that I won't cry it's kicked over or something and it's just nasty enough that I doubt anyone will try to steel it..

I've also since gotten divorced and had to sell my estate in the outer county, and have moved to the city. What a change... so.. lock up your daughters and lock up your wives.. I'm back..
