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- 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.

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.

 This was a great trip but far too short in spite of two big mileage days 
 in the woods on fantastic back roads old and new. 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. For now enjoy these
