Hell yea man! It'll probably be late June or July timeframe....right now I'm lookin at a route that will take us from fossil, SW toward Prineville, then east all the way across to Baker, up thru halfway, around to Joseph, Enterprise, over the hill thru Tolgate to Milton-Freewater and back to the Tri-Cities....
havent checked the exact mileage...not sure if we'll take one eve + 2 days or eve + 3 days....we'll nail it down as time gets closer.
There are some killer roads on our route...we're gonna do our best to hit as many as possible..

Cool. I don't do squid rides. It take the fun out of it! The cops watch em like flies on a old piece of meat! I'm into speed, acceleration, and twisties! Everything Central oregon has to offer!

Ride update.

I'll be leaving on Sept 5th at 9AM to head North to Mt. Vernon, WA. The East to HWY 20. I will be camping nightly to keep the costs down. I did a mock packing on the Busa this week. If I tuck low nobody will see my from the back!

I'll have to get some space saver bags to protect and compress the clothes and sleeping bag. Next week I'll be packing the Busa for the trip. I'll post pics before I leave.

Just a tip man. Before you go, log on to activefires.com or activefiremaps.com. These sites can help you dodge areas that have big forest fires burning. Right now there are several in Wa, Oregon, Idaho and Mt. Can make for a lousy day riding thru heavy smoke.

Thanks mjn. Good tip. We have a few days of rain coming (if the weather report is close) that may help the firefighter out. Things should be alot better in September.

That sucks. I hope the area doesn't suffer too much. That will take a few years to grow the forest back.

This ride will be delayed until further notice, because of the crash. I'll post notice about this ride 2 to 3 months prior to it occuring, so others may be able to join me for a fantastic time!
