Top 10 Oregon roads

jlburgess · 03-04-2010, 06:46 PM

Thought I'd throw in some of my fav's to look forward to this summer! Let me know your best....

Hwy 66 Ashland to K-falls - A total roller coaster ride for 60 miles. Reasonably clear traffic on weekdays.

HWY 53 - Short but sweet!

Hwy 207 Mitchell to Spray - Epic twisties and free camping in Mitchell park.

Hwy 242 - Trucks and Mobiles not allowed - 'nuff said! Too bad it's only open half of the year.

NF 25 Bear Camp Rd. Galice to Gold Beach - Awesome Rogue river views and endless curves, but a bit bumpy.

Add your favorite.....

I was gonna say 53, so instead I'll second it. Nice & twisty, so us slow girls bikes can keep up

66 is a hoot, though I've only rocked in a cage - albeit an STi . . .

Hwy 227 from Canyonville to Trail. A complete rip!

Siuslaw River RD from Austa to Lorane, very predictable single lane.

CR 20 from Hwy 395 to Austin (best road in Oregon if it's clean)

NF 52 from NF-73 to Ukiah 5,000' eleveation rd middle of nowhere rd NF-99 windy ridgeish.

Hwy 53/Miami RR from Garibaldi to Necanicum Junction, get this without traffic and you've been blessed. What a workout!

Link together Fossil-Condon-Ruggs-Spray-Fossil. 125 mile loop with the best of everything in Oregon. No traffic.

Hwy 218 from Shaniko to Fossil. What every road is judged against.

Cow Creek Loop west of I5 between Riddle and Glendale. Epic.

Hwy 47 between Hwy 26 and Clatskanie.

RedRyder · 03-04-2010, 08:39 PM

Hwy 34 from Philomath to Waldport with a side trip up Mary's Peak and lunch in Alsea.

SpeedGeek · 03-04-2010, 09:18 PM

To add to R6 Jon's list:

Dooley Mtn Rd Hwy 245

to CR 20 between 395/Austin junction (probably THE BEST road in Oregon if it's clean- my personal favorite!)

Another

for NF 52.
"NF 52 from NF-73 to Ukiah 5,000' elevation rd middle of nowhere rd NF-99 windy ridgeish."

These are probably 3 of the top 5 in Oregon... on anyone's list.

If you're in southern Oregon, check out Dead Indian Memorial Rd - on the east side of Ashland about a 1/2 mile east of I-5 off Hwy 66. A total rip for the first 20 miles, lots of twisties...then you can continue all the way to K-Falls or Chiloquin and enjoy some serious triple digits as you make your way throught the middle of nowhere. Gas up in Ashland and keep your eyes peeled for little critters.

WolfNman · 03-04-2010, 10:33 PM

Dead indian, ha! Green springs is the shit. But I also do dead Indian when I ride green springs. One helluva aggressive run.

Nevermind first post states hwy 66 aka green springs. Me sofa king we Todd did. Carry on!

Trukdryverchuck · 03-04-2010, 10:53 PM

Hwy 53 on the coast. Hwy 42 to 42S into Bandon.
US 395 from Hines to John Day, then from US26 up 395 north to Pendleton.
Hwy 7 from US 26 north to Baker City.

I like skyline. Yep Skyline. I ride it every weekend and time myself how fast I can get from one end to the other. Lets everybody go ride skyline and leave all the other roads empty cause theyre worthless anyways!

Buckwheat · 03-05-2010, 04:29 PM

TLRich · 03-05-2010, 10:16 PM

Don't forget Lewis and Clark rd, between Astoria and seaside. Brand new pavement with good see through in corners. Every bit as good as hwy53

oremike · 03-06-2010, 06:23 AM

Rowena Pt, Silver Lake Rd, FS 18, 216, Lamba Mt Rd, ect

I don't think I have ridden that road before. Oh goody, now I have to go ride 53 and then hit the Lewis and Clark Rd. for a comparison test. And then since I will be in Astoria I will have to take 202 to Jewell and see if there are any Elk out and about.

dooley mtn is #1

Turnfour · 03-06-2010, 09:12 AM

FS 11, from Green Peter Rez. to Detroit. Not for the faint of heart though. Top section is kind of beat up one lane, bottom is epic.
FS 39 through Hells Canyon, 3 down Joseph Canyon, then you have to go up 129 on the Wa. side.

kenr74 · 03-07-2010, 06:12 PM

Nestucca River Rd from Carlton over to 101. Have some lunch in Pacific City then work your way back.
