Like Robert, I haven't ridden your specific route through Gifford Pinchot National Forest, but I've ridden near there, to the west of your planned route. Nice riding, but be prepared for the lack of services. Also, I'd take Mark's advice and ride up to Paradise in Mount Rainier National Park.
Looks like you're choosing to stay on the south side of the Columbia through the Gorge, which is definitely the better routing. WA 14 on the north side is busier than you want it to be, and the shoulder width varies from decent to non-existent. My only advice would be to take Marine Drive into North Portland, if N Ainsworth and Vancouver is your final destination. Your routing between Stark St Bridge and North Portland isn't bad, but Marine Drive is more scenic if longer. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/10690194 yours, Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
