Triple Digit North Umpqua Headache

Late afternoon blast up the North Umpqua from Lone Rock to Diamond Lake.  I wish I had had time to ride the Panther Creek spur. 66mi.  

Fun way into Portland

OR47 is always a great ride although the pavement has deteriorated a bit since I last rode it in 2009.  Heading east on Scappose-Vernonia Highway, the ascent was great with excellent pavement and laughter-inducing combinations but the pavement turned a bit rough on the descent into the Columbia basin.

Rocky Point Road is a technical ride heaven, a fun stash not to be missed.

Logie Trail was a bust, the lane-and-a-half remaining was in terrible condition, but the non-stop turns signify what once was.  Traffic was very light - None on OR47 and I only had to pass two cars the rest of the way until I got into the exurbs.  102mi warm-up.

Usual Suspects to "Isle of Lk. Cavanaugh"

XLSR Meetup Ride with combination of club members and meetup.com folks:  Pace began fairly mild, further north went wild.  High Bridge-Ben Howard-Reiner Rd, Woods Creek to Granite Falls.  Half the group dropped off so we headed up Burn Road, cut off on Lake Cavanaugh for a scorching backroad blast, then back on SR9. 165mi.

Cathcart to Lake McMurray

Ran out east toward the foothills, then north hitting my local favorites;  High Bridge Road out to Meadow Lake, then up Burn Rd and Hwy 9 to Lake McMurray, then back home mostly reversed course.   Meadow Lake was awesome, free of traffic both times.  Afternoon temps in the mid 80s.  Hwy 9 was packed with Cagers and Road Sofas, including a wreck.  Monday AM, I learned I should have started with a shorter workout for the first ride of the season.  142mi.  

High Bridge/Carnation/Old Woodinville-Duvall

Garage Sales, both High Bridge and OWD were traffic-free.  OWD has some sweet turns! 106mi.  

Adarius' First Ride

Fresh oil @ ODO 22800.  Down 9th to 228th, out 527 to Bothell, return on back roads, hit 55MPH. Adarius LIKES! Wants a longer ride!
