Really like routes around here, farms, forests, sweepers and hairpins, what a nice route! Road can be dirty inline with the weather but otherwise very good.
Meandering the backroads of Oregon. Starting in the rural town of Sheridan ending in the scenic town of sisters. Hwy 242 from 126 to Sisters is exceptional however only open in summer.
Hells Canyon route! Great ride if you want endless twisties! You are in the bush,so not a lot to look at until you get to the overlook, but you best be watching the road anyway! Some very long stretches of very sharp stuff! Ton's of fun! Stop at the overlook for sure! I find the locals are good at ...
Deer!! Seriously, if youre not careful, you could die. I dont know exactly what happens if a bike hits a deer at 60mph, but i know they come out of blind corners where the outside is a cliff, i wouldnt fuck around and if you dont have experience on a road w/ plenty of deer, dont go above 40mph (excl...
Great twisty road from the gold dredge & gas pumps at Sumpter up the plateau (watch the slippery tar strips and occasional pothole) thru the paved-over trails & hunting routes to the dry dead farmlands approaching the dusty dying town of Ukiah, with 1 pump dispensing regular gas and a small convenie...
Some spectacular corner groupings on the western 1/2, especially as you cross the pass altho the eastern extremity as you approach Haines is purely farmland. Still that is sometimes ok too. But Haines has only regular, if that is open, so come with gas - closest is south of Haines at Baker City, Sum...
The Bull Run OR - Clatsop/Tillamook/Co..., United States December 1, 2013 - 5.0
This is my wife and I's favorite run.
Great mountainous views, pasturals,
and plenty of twisties to keep you awake.
A few inclined blind switch-backs, but nothing to change your shorts over.
Strawberry Loop OR - Clatsop/Tillamook/Co..., United States June 28, 2014 - 3.0
Once you leave Seneca and get on NF 16 until John Day Hwy it is very remote. We traveled it all day and never saw another vehicle. You can see lots of wildlife. Last 7 miles on NF 16 (E. Camp Creek Rd, near Unity) is good graded gravel, rest of route is all paved. Watch out for livestock and deer o...
FS 21 OR - Clatsop/Tillamook/Co..., United States June 28, 2014 - 4.0
Nice route through woods with some good scenery. Road is all paved with a few potholes. Very little traffic. Offers a lot of off-road exploration if interested. Can see lots of wildlife. Be careful of deer and livestock on road.
Very remote ride through high desert country of SE Oregon. Be sure to fill up in Burns because fuel availability is spotty. There's fuel in Frenchglen but don't take credit cards only cash. Access from Frenchglen to Steens Mt. Best in spring or fall, too hot in summer. Carry plenty of water.
The Hippo's Tour OR - Clatsop/Tillamook/Co..., United States April 29, 2015 - 4.0
This is a ride put together by a group--primarily--from the Vancouver, WA area. We wanted a bit of everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer: Pacific Coast, big rivers, little rivers, canyons, plenty of lakes, great twisting mountain roads, arrid plains with great vistas and long sweeping turns...
This is not an alpine mountain road, the kind I typically reserve for a \"very good\" rating but I'm giving it 4 stars to get your attention. If your headed to the coast anywhere near Corvalis you need to forget about Hwy 20 and take Hwy 34, the Alsea Highway road. Hwy 20 is the route preferred by...
Hells canyon is a very narrow extremely twisty road along the snake river. A boring country section in the middle then the final decent into Clarkston is spectacular.
Nice easy ride from Salem to Silverton over to Estacada over the mountains to Detroit Lake back down the mountain to Stayton. Ending back in Silverton/Salem area
Scenic country cruise through farm lands, then into Silver Falls which is dense Oregon forest. Lots of great twists in the park, but a fair amount of tourist traffic to watch out for. If you are willing to take a short hike to North Falls, it is simply stunning - you can walk in a cave behind the ...
beautiful ride, was referenced it by a fellow rider and decided to take the trip. Nice twisty roads, and not much of a presence of other cars from what I seen. The stop at the triangle lake makes it even better. There's a lot of blind corners, and some decent straights.
The Hoons ride to the coast and back for lunch. A few Roads are pretty bumpy and ruff. There is a section of about 5/8 of a mile that is gravel. But very do-able on even sports bikes. The Scooner in Netarts is a great place to grab food for lunch or dinner. All in all a very fun ride that has great ...
Quite pleasant route for both riding and sight seeing up to and around Crater Lake NP. Check the weather, it can be cold/foggy/raining/snowing at Crater while sunny just a few miles away. Little traffic early or late in the season, can be crowded during holidays or when school is out. The road ar...
A lovely 10 mile (16km) ride through a stunning Redwood Forest. Lovely sweeping bends and lots of places to stop to see the trees. I have a video of my ride along the Parkway at https://youtu.be/a_V4WNSAesQ
The Cooper Spur Road leading up to the ski area in this region is worth a look, there are also many other twisty side roads off the 35 which are a delight to explore in your own time (Although not all are suited to road bikes! :-))
Enjoy
This eight-mile segment between Shaniko and Antelope includes a remarkable set of twisty corners near Antelope. A rural route in Oregons high desert, be on the lookout for animals, gravel, etc., though vehicular traffic tends to be low. Shaniko is a ghost town and Antelope is virtually the same. ...
With good tarmac and wonderful views of Mount Hood, Forest Rd 42 is by far the best route between the Estacada-Detroit Scenic Byway and Hwy 26. Ride from west to east and enjoy the majesty of Mt. Hood.
The scenic beauty of Mt. Hood over Timothy Lake may be the most spectacular in all...
Awesome ride from either end. Road transitions from river level on the Columbia River to over 2500 feet high through desert plains with sections of scenic canyons and running streams tossed in for good measure. Not much fuel out here, plan to fill up in Lyle or in Goldendale. There is no gas at t...
Some amazing corners on the climb from Rock Ck with enough corners all the way to keep your interest, nice section as you join 19. Some deer at dusk and they are the ones that just stand stupefied in a small group in the middle of the road. Until they dont. Low traffic. Good pavement. Gas at Rock Ck...
Twisty and scenic road - rock formations, the site of the first terrorist attack in the US at Antelope, nice farmland and glorious corners. Gas & some chow at Shaniko. Good pavement, light traffic, have yet to see a cop on it, some deer potential at dusk. Fast.
This is one of my favorites loops. You start in the Columbia River Gorge and end in the Gorge. It is amazing how quickly the scenery changes, since you move quickly through the climatic shift from Western Washington to Eastern Washington. The Gorge makes this possible without actually crossing ove...
A great remote, mountain road from Goldendale all the way to Randle. The only real issues are a stretch of no pavement for about 3/4 of a mile west of the Lewis River and Lower Falls Campground on Forest Road 90, and occasionally rough pavement north of Elk Pass on Forest Road 25. Virtually no law...
Good alternative route between Shaniko Junction and Maupin. Beats going on the highway with all the other traffic. When you start to drop down into Maupin there's some great corners. But be careful on some corners there can be gravel from the shoulder. The city park is a nice campsite too.
A nice alternative route that's all paved instead of taking major highways. You'll go through some open country to start, then transition to an oak-scrub forest, then to deep woods. Hardly any traffic and some great views of Mt Hood. If you're on a GS bike there are lots of side road exploration ...
