"this
is, in my opinion, one of the best rides in the entire NW
as far as
good sporting rides go! sure there are others that have
more turns
per mile (mt. st helens & hwy 18, shaniko to fossil)
and there are
many rides with far better scenery, but, those rides generally
have
far more traffic, tourist's,and revenue collectors ( A.K.A.
POLICE ).": myspace.com/lade1721.

Road Quality:
|
|
a
very nice mix of very fast sweeping turns, with a few long
straights, tight twisty sections, and lots of good switch
backs. pavement quality gets a little rough at times, but
does smooth back out. there are areas of this ride that
are open range, which means, for those of you not familiar
with the term, that there could be cows (or other animals)
on the road as they are not penned in by fences. I've never
seen any, but that's not saying they aren't there.

of good sweeping turns, some tight stuff,
all the way down to hwy 14 and the end point
