The first quarter mile is the worst part of that ride! Well, except for
crossing the bridge from the Maryhill area to Biggs, OR.

dirt climbs.

Funny that you mention Maupin... There was a motorcycle club hanging out at
the store in Dufur when we pulled up. They were interested in us, our
adventure, and our bikes. We chatted for a bit before they pulled out and
we went in to get food. At one point one of them said "Hey, bikes is
bikes.
Andy, so bummed I couldn't get out that way with you. Hopefully I can make
it out next time. There are so many great roads out there. A ramble from
Dufur to Maupin would be excellent.
I was talking to a friend and he said it was pretty overwhelming the number
of people that showed up for the D
