Well I had a somewhat wet and cold solo ride through the gorge and up into the foothills of Mt Adams lol!

the heart of the route from BZ corner through Klickitat was dry and excellent, but cold, road conditions. However, I made a miscalculation on my fuel levels and had to dial down the pace to conserve gas until I could get to Klickitat which was the next available fuel stop.

@nicegy525 Dang - will thanks for the info. Been a long time since I’ve been up that direction.

I’m in. I’ll register for the Grand Tour today, and get the book. I’m totally fine with ~300mile days; not sure if I want to do ~600 mile days. And taking that much time in a row off is going to be an issue for me; being self-employed sucks.

What software are you using to plan the route?

I think some three day weekend type rides would be awesome; blow out of town early on a Friday, get to ‘H’, spend the night, come back up and do ‘I’, ‘J’, and the finish point on Sat., spend the night and then head back home on Sun.

Couple weeks later, go out and do S-O, out and back?

K-N some other weekend?

I wanna go! LOL

for me personally, I would be interested in going to family friendly gatherings. That way I would not have to leave my wife and kids at home.

Old Chicago was a fun place.

Stark Street Pizza was another.

I cant remember the name but there was a Mexican joint on the west side too that Ive been to.

all food for thought

What time are you thinking of heading over? I’m finishing up the move from old place to new place and have a few more boxes and things to schlep … but let me know if it’s later vs. earlier and I may be able to make it -

Not inconvenienced…we should make it FUN to get there. Let’s hold it at Skyline Tavern!!
