doc -- poles on the TT... good idea... noted. mike -- I'm thinking I'll come out for one or both of the 100k in May and am thinking more and more about the 200k at the end of June. Ed G. and I were talking over the weekend about increasing distance and he was encouraging. But I might be distra

The ride up to and around Timothy Lake is pretty awesome. I've camped there twice and it's nice enough but there's tons of folks up there in RVs with generators going and making noise. I have no idea why they even left home! Camping along the Clackamas River is really nice. Lots of camp sites that

That's great that the mileage wasn't too heavy. I may have to make a day trip out there to check it out. Yeah, there's lots of great stuff to explore outside of Portland. These two brevet routes would make great overnight rides for anyone welling to do 2 long days in the saddle. http://www.orrando

Oh man that looks like a good time! GPNF is a fantastic place for bike camping, especially if you're willing to go long. If you get the time later in the year consider trying to go for a couple of days so you can take in some of the quiet spectacular FS roads that wind their way through Gifford. I
