[RBW] Re: Mt Hood NF S36O.
Wow. Bummer. I just spent the last 30 minutes writing up a report. I hit post and Google said there was a problem. I hit reload and my post was lost. I'm not gonna re-write it. In short... I had fun riding my bike alone on quiet Forest Service roads in the Mt Hood National Forest. The days were long but fulfilling and my bike and equipment all worked fine. If you can, get out there and explore, camp and have fun. I'd even say push yourself a bit. Be sure to post pictures and experiences here. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Mike- Looked like fun! I've ridden a lot of the route you did, and yep, it's a great ride. Have you tried Lolo Pass Road yet? Some great views and the east section (after the Pass) was some of my favorite riding of last year. I'm thinking about riding the Tour De Clack on Sunday June 30th which is going to explore the area around the Clackamas River just to the west of the National Forest. Should be some great scenery. -Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Thanks Shawn! I've ridden Lolo Pass a couple of times. Love it. When I reached Trillium Lake I had contemplated riding down to Parkdale and then taking FS Rd 16 to Lolo Pass Rd (FS 18) but decided against it. In July I may get away for a long day ride with a friend and we may start in Zigzag and do that loop in one day--Still Creek, Hwy 35 FS 16 and then FS 18 back to Zigzag. It would be a big day. Take pictures on Tour De Clack, I'm sure it'll be great. Last year we explored a FS road that went up the Collawash. Looked like if you kept going on the road it would loop back around towards Detroit Lake. --mike On Wednesday, June 19, 2013 9:42:53 AM UTC-7, Shawn Granton wrote: Mike- Looked like fun!

Looks good Mike. Makes me want to come up and visit.

I love the Mt Hood NF, so many opportunities for bike camping. While I've been out there a number of times I still feel I've only scratched the surface. While cloudy, it never rained. I was never cold (or too hot) and the bugs weren't out of control at the campsite. Would have loved to have stayed out for another day. I'll offer up a bit more of a trip report later today.
