5/20 Sunday Bickleton for lunch ride

I will be leaving the Troutdale McDonald's at 8 am Sunday morning. I will do a basic Klickitat ride but go further east to Bickleton. This is about a 375 mile ride. Come gassed and with all your gear. We will gas up in Goldendale and do the out and back ride to Bickleton--the Bluebird Capital of the World. Lunch is at the oldest continually operating tavern in the State of Washington.
I am slow in the straights and speedier in the turns.

 

Son of an effin bee-otch! Shite Moslem! NOW, the forecast looks like 60% chance of rain tomorrow. Likely abortion of the ride.

 

Remember, weather dependent.
This is an all day ride; probably home in PDX by five.

 

I am so fast that I will be back midnight tonight--hours before I leave!

 

So Jaybo, what's your pace right now?

 

Weather forecrap looking a little more promising as of this moment. Check this post early tomorrow morning. Some company would be welcome!

 

We could leave at 11 and miss the fresh morning air and hit the heavy traffic getting out of town.

 

Weather looks dry today with really showery weather forecast for Monday and through the following weekend. This is our chance to do a nice long ride.

8:00 departure from Troutdale McDonald's.

 

Last Sunday I started this ride but hit enough rain out of Troutdale to convince me to abort the ride.
How about another attempt tomorrow (Saturday)? Since all good PNW riders like to sleep in, how about a 9:00 am meeting at McDs?
We will do the Bickleton canyon, BZ to Glenwood, Skyline out of Klickitat, and Cook-Underwood.
Lunch in Bickleton!

 

Nothing to do with Skyline Rd in Portland. A guardrail-lined, one-lane section a few miles from the town of Klickitat that I have been ripping and crashing on for years.
