OR 218 - Fossil

Yep.

 

Cool pics!

The bike is looking good my friend!

 

Gorgeous! The bike isn't to bad either.

 

You came onto my side of the mountain and didn't call me.. Thats it your buying the coffee next Tuesday...

 

The hills, the road, and the bike are all top notch.

Thanks for posting!

 

I thought the tractor in Pic 1 was really cool. Thanks for sharing. :wink:

 

Looks like a fun road. Nice pictures.

 

Yeah.. that was ODOT playing around on the switchback portion. Kind of annoying. Had a flagger out, didnt really get to "ride" that portion until the way back when they had packed up.

 

Been there, done that, loved every mile. Don't tell anybody so we can keep it for ourselves...

 

That roads definitely no secret, just a pain in the ass to get to

 

We usually leave Spray early in the morining and bactrack to Fossil, then Antelope, Shaniko, then wherever. Last time I was there was last June, I think. I go there every year, sometimes multiple times.

 

My usual route out there is to start in Estacada, run clackamas river down to 42/Skyline up to 26. Either head to 216 directly, or use Cedar Burn to connect with NF 48 and run through Tygh Valley. From Maupin take Bake Oven, get you right outside Shaniko.

 

Y'all speaking in code or are those the real names???? Lol
