Gentle bump appreciated, Scot. I've been going over maps and searching the interwebs for info to put together a route. Frankly, I'm coming up pretty empty handed so far. That's not to say this won't happen, 'cause it will, it just might be a little more "make it up as we go" than an organized group ride usually is. I assume that anyone who would show up for something called a "Country Bike Rumble" would be fine with that.
One piece of info I did get is that the Willapa Hills Trail is largely RR ballast and is not really rideable very far outside of Chehalis. Bummer. With that piece of info I stopped looking west of I-5. This is the general area<https://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=46.727624,-122.526398&hl=en&sll=46.752094,-122.507172&sspn=0.472342,1.213989&t=h&mra=mift&mrsp=1&sz=10&z=10> I'm focusing on now. It's equidistant from PDX and Seattle and if I/we find the right starting point, it's accessible via Amtrak. The area south of Alder Lk is in the Gifford Pinchot Nat Forest. The area west of that looks like private timber land. Public may or may not have access to roads on timber land. There are a small handful of lakes in the GPNF that look forest road accessible... could be gems or trash dumps. I welcome any input. --Smitty -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
