I am leaving at 8:30 From the Chevron gas station located in North Plains, intersection of Glenco Rd. and Hwy 26. I will not be doing any double yellow passing or excessive speed just a nice slow to moderate pace. click here for route.

any input on planned route is appreciated (road closures etc.)

VFR750FKID · 09-24-2009, 12:29 AM

Sounds like a perfect ride if you just finished one of Clay's newbie rides.

jnicola · 09-24-2009, 11:04 AM

I may be in...

BikerSk8rKid · 09-24-2009, 11:15 AM

I'll try and make it.

KJG675 · 09-24-2009, 11:20 AM

Will try and make this ride. Sounds like a great ride!

Darin · 09-24-2009, 08:51 PM

It will be a long day so bring water. I have left a message for the Backwoods Cafe at Eco Park letting them know we were coming. We will be arriving around 12-1 for lunch. then up to Johnston Ridge Observatory. Once again this is an all day trip so make sure you and your gear are up to the task. See you Saturday

I might join you to 30 or Meissner then split.

jnicola · 09-24-2009, 10:46 PM

I was just checking the route and kinda thinking that's a damn round about way to get to St. Helens, but according to google maps it's just as fast as wind river road (Fluffy led a trip down that, it was rad). I've also never seen that part of the state (Vernonia) so I'm feeling like i am down.

My attendance will be based on whether or not I managed to install the acewell gauge tomorrow night for my bike. If it's done, I am there!

Darin · 09-24-2009, 11:30 PM

I always welcome another naked bike....

JasonC · 09-25-2009, 05:57 PM

Im in! My bike is naked on the bottom, does that count?

johnystrat · 09-25-2009, 06:49 PM

I am interested in going.

phlamb · 09-25-2009, 07:15 PM

Might show up if you don't mine having a new guy along... and if I can make myself wake up at 7:30 on a Saturday.

Darin · 09-25-2009, 08:05 PM

Come 1 come all, you are all welcome no need to ask, just show up by 8:30 even if you haven't signed up with PNW yet. This is how we sucker into our hooligan gang.

I like partially naked people so why not bikes

Fluffy22 · 09-26-2009, 10:57 AM

Thanks for the ride Darin.
Sorry that I had to split. It was chilly out and I found it hard to focus. Hope you guys had an enjoyable rest of the ride.

jnicola · 09-26-2009, 11:15 AM

Hope it went well. I got the gauge and everything in, but it was the drinking afterwards that kept me from making this ride. I wasn't even awake at 8:30!

JasonC · 09-26-2009, 07:01 PM

I had lots of fun, despite it being really cold, and wet. But that was only the first few hours, once we broke out of the clouds it was awesome.

phlamb · 09-26-2009, 07:15 PM

Thanks for the ride, Darin. It was a lot of fun, great for a new rider.

It was a little cold (and rainy once we started heading up towards the mountain), but once we got up above the clouds the weather was beautiful.

I can't complain too much about the rain, at least I have a rear fender on my bike and didn't have water spraying up onto my back.

Yeah I would have the same and with no sleep would have been worse.

I didn't get home and to sleep until about that time. LONG NIGHT.

I did want to go though. UGH bad choice I made last night.

NO. GOOD choice you made THIS MORNING.
There is always another ride to go on!

I don't think it was lack of fender as much as the size of the ass.

Thanks. Yeah I'm doing the Coast Trip, but I'm trying to figure out what to wear because it's going to be cold or drink some coffee, even though I'm on a diet *water only*.

You should come though.

Thanks for leading the ride to St. Helens. So glad we perservered through the wet stuff, it was worth it. Nice to meet some new riders.
