Saturday, June 4th
I talked with John from Seal Floorboards and we would like to see if anybody is up for a ride to the coast say out 26 to Seaside and up to Astoria for lunch then back 30 to Portland. Unless somebody has a better plan.

Saturday is supposed to be beautiful. It will be the first real group ride of the year. How about it guys and gals!

Sounds like fun!!! We can't do it this time, but we're discussing the possibility in Sept as a part of our vacation.
-
Taking the back road through Mist is a FAR better return from Astoria on a bike. It totally avoids 30, has elk, & great twisties.
You leaving early enough to stop at Camp 18 for breakfast?
-
What is your definition of early?
-
.....and where would we be forming up at in the beginning? Haven't talked with the "boss" yet, but I definitely think this is something we would want to do!
-
Early is 0730 & the meeting place would be Micky D's on Glenco Road - the early ones get coffee, and we depart precisely on time. Next stop is Camp 18.
I highly recommend taking 202/47 from Astoria to Manning vs 30 - it will add an hour to the trip, however, leaving at 0730, breakfast at Camp 18 and returning via 202/47 will have us home around 2. BTDTHtTS….

Hwy 26 to North plains/forest grove and take a right at the top of the off ramp. You will see Mcdonalds. Not to far from our house.
Is Kathy coming also?
I believe that is the one Dragonrider was taking about

John;
From Newberg, go over the mountain to Hillsboro, keep going North until you hit 26, head west and take the Glenco Rd exit. It's about a 40 minute ride for both of us.
Planning on going, and bringing my bride too.

John,
I like DragonRider's way for you better.
By the way, I can take a co-pilot also.

Thanks Bill, I'll go that way. Are you coming thru Newberg?

I'll go through 6 corners to Farmington Road, out to Hillsboro Highway, then straight out Glenco Road -
Coming off the mountain, if you turn left at the Hillsboro Highway junction (little restaurant, across from Smith's Berry Barn - if you pass Petrich's store, you've gone too far), you'll be on the same route. Stay on HH, it turns into 1st in Hillsboro, then Glenco Road, just north of town. Stay on Glenco road till you get to MD's. It's a very nice ride, that I've made a zillion times over the last 35 years. There's a gas station to top off by MD's, if you need it.

Where is your destination in Astoria, I might be able to hook up with you from Washington.

Hadn't really picked out a place yet, I know there is an English Pub on the water that isn't too bad. But I think we are all open to suggestions, even if it only near Astoria.
-
Hadn't planned on stopping in Astoria - just pass through. If we take 202, you turn right after the 101 connector bridge, and really don't go into downtown Astoria.
If some of the folks want to stop, that's fine - I'll continue on. It the rest of the group wants to stop, I'll split off after breakfast. Sorry, but I'd rather not stop at a pub for lunch - especially on a bike. Just my thing.
Historically, I figure Camp 18, roughly 8:30 - in Astoria before 11.... including gas at Fred's - home by 2....
