Mt.
High bike ride
Timberline
- Trillium Lake - Rhododendron
September
10 (Saturday) - 9
am.
Meet
in Rhododendron, the last town
before Government Camp. Meet on the
right side of the highway at the
place where the Mt. Hood Express bus
stops. There is space for
parking some cars there. Most
of us will continue driving our own
cars and bikes to Timberline, but
we'll need to leave a few cars in
Rhododendron.
This
ride will be mostly downhill, except
for about a mile immediately after
Trillium Lake. A mountain bike
is recommended because there will be
long stretches of gravel road.
A commuter bike with regular tires
is OK too. Just don't bring a
racing road bike with those
super-thin tires.
Here's
the plan:
1.
Timberline to Govy.
We'll follow the paved West
Leg Road to Government
Camp. NOTE that we had
previously announced an option to go
down the Timberline-to-Town mountain
bike trail, but we have decided it
was too rocky, bumpy, and dangerous.
There has been too much erosion over
the years. Some of our members had
gotten injured in previous years.
So, it was decided to skip it this
time.
2.
Stop
at Huckleberry Inn for rest
and refreshment. Maybe a
huckleberry lemonade or a
milkshake? This is a
convenient place to regroup, since
one of the above two groups will
arrive in Govy before the other and
will then have to wait here for the
other group to arrive.
3.
Govy to Trillium Lake.
We might split into two groups here
too:
a) One group following the
Barlow Road wagon trail (rocky).
b) The other group following a
paved road and then some gravel
4.
Still Creek Road from
Trillium Lake to Rhododendron.
About a mile of uphill on a gravel
road from Trillium Lake.
Then several miles of easy coasting
downhill on Still Creek Road
At the
end of the ride, someone will stay
in Rhododendron guarding all our
bikes while those who left their
cars in Rhododendron will help
transport the drivers of the other
cars back up to Timberline.
Bring
some water or other refreshing
beverage.
Bring
some extra clothing and gloves in
case it's a cold day. Still Creek
Road might be mostly in the shade.
Finally,
we'll end the day's adventure with a
visit to Chicali Cantina
in Welches. They offer
"seriously good food and epic
margaritas".
This
ride organized by John Davis and
Emilio Trampuz. Let us know if you
are coming. Contact Emilio at: Emilio2000@earthlink.net

Mt.
High bike ride
North
Portland Loop
Kenton
Park to Kelley Point
September
24 (Saturday) - 10
am.
Kelley
Point is where the Willamette River
flows into the Columbia.
The ride is about 18 miles. It’s
almost completely flat.It goes by
Smith Lake. There is wildlife to be
seen, such as egrets or herons.
And,
best of all, it’s a loop, so there
is no need for any car shuttling.
We'll
meet at the North-East corner of
Kenton Park (upper right
on a map). Kenton Park doesn't
have a parking lot, so park anywhere
on the street, get your bike ready,
and let's meet in the NE corner of
the park.
NOTE:
The left side of the loop as shown
on the map goes through some busy
streets, and on one of them there is
no bike lane. So, we will
change our route and ride mainly on
a paved bike path.
After
the bike ride, we'll socialize over
some food and drinks, either at the
Kenton Station Restaurant & Pub,
or at the Casa Maya MExican
restaurant right across the street
from each other.
This
ride organized by John Davis and
Emilio Trampuz. Let us know if you
are coming. Contact Emilio at: Emilio2000@earthlink.net
