Portland to Deschutes/The Dalles is 100 miles. Riding it in one day is totally doable, but maybe less than the amount of fun most people are looking for at the start of a 360 miles (mostly) off-road odyssey. Two days should be pretty pleasant but perhaps not amenable to as many people's schedule?
If you fall in the latter group, Portland SagWagon <http://www.portlandsagwagon.com/Site/Blog/Entries/2014/3/1_Oregon_Outback.html> can shuttle you from Portland to Deschutes SP in about 2 hours door-to-door. I'll also mention Deschutes SP is a beautiful camp site to start (or finish) any ride. Taking a late shuttle would allow one to spend a day sight-seeing in Portland (always recommended), camp at the Deschutes, and then start one's Oregon Outback adventure bright and, if not early, at least fresh the next morning. Full disclosure: I operate said Portland SagWagon. :) Cheers, -Allan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
