Another awesome 1100 mile weekend - quickly approaching 50,000 miles on this bike
250th tour in the books. A lot of miles & smiles over the last 22 years. Good times.
Getting off the bike after 10 hours of non-stop riding. Been staring at this Akrapovic carbon fiber can lately and it's really lost its luster & shine.
I'm going to have to chatGPT how to get it all shiny again.
Winter project.
Another tour in a mere 12 days.
Headed for Oregon next.

Oregon Tour
The plan was to ride Southwestern Oregon for three consecutive days. And this route was new to me, so a bit of memorization of the backroads route and and a new Garmin Zumo XT that Mark gifted me for my 250th tour. Still relying on old fashioned paper maps, Old Dog I suppose.
I've ridden a lot of these backroads roads through the years since 2012 since I did the first tour of Oregon, but Oregon is a different region and an all new group of four friends that signed up for the tour.
We meet in Ashland, Oregon just over the CA-OR border. Ashland is cute little town full of gingerbread Victorian hours. My oldest just graduated from Southern Oregon University a few months ago.
Here's what the plan looks like:

Back in the olden days a decade ago, my Oregon Tour was centered around Crater Lake - if you've never been been to Crater Lake, like most national parks, they are all- must visit places.
Ever get a chance to ride to see Crater Lake NP, take the ride. Bluest water I've ever seen.

Country backroads in SW Oregon go something like this...
Btw, we don't ride eastern Oregon. Eastern Oregon is a desert.
I had no idea till I actually went there and saw it for real. Rain shadow, oh yeah, got. I'll stick to the western side of the state.
All the mountains are in the center part, and the western part of the state.
