Loni Sounds like a great reason to have SPLASH on the later dates. Are we planning an Oregon SPLASH for 2011? | ||
| Lonitaylor |
Mike, I don't think that you would have to BEG OR STEAL, I would let you ride the Harley and ride behind Chris to make sure you made it this year!!  We have all missed you and Kim being there with us. | ||

The weekend of July, 22nd is looking good. The only thing is that Laguna Seca is that weekend, anyone going to that? Post now if you are. Jimmy, not sure about an Oregon SPLASH ride. Michael G. and Green Eric where talking about that huh? Can't commit to it but it's a good idea! | ||
| Funjimmy |
There was a suggestion regarding Oregon because the St Helen's roads are getting so torn up. Either way, I'm in!  | ||
| Lonitaylor |
Sent Eric a message on Face book, and sent MG a private message from Bad Web. Maybe they might have a few good ideas. I would be willing to help come up with a route if someone else could help. I think it is a good idea.  | ||

We are open to what ever dates although riding with Mike would be prefered. Mike needs a Bike! | ||

Hi all, Now that we're talking SPLASH again I can offer some ideas for the OR route and see where we go from there. After marking my favorite roads on the map and trying to see how we might link them together for maximum fun (I'm assuming allowing for 3 days of riding in Oregon based on our conversations at Border Raid last year) my suggestion is: Overnight first night in Estacada (SE of Portland) - not sure about hotels in town but it isn't far off I205 so staying in Portland would work too - lots of hotels near the Airport. First day - ride Hwy 224 along Clackamas River to Detroit - this is one of the best biker roads in the state so off to a good start! Then it's scenic Hwy 22/20 across Santiam Pass to Central Oregon. This is only about a 3-4 hour ride but other loops can be done if more riding is wanted. I suggest staying in Bend for 1-2 nights depending on when you need to get home. Mt. Bachelor Village has multibedroom condos across the Cascade Lakes Hwy from our house. These can be shared by several people to save $$$ and they are within walking distance from our house. Second day: Ride over Hwy 242 (McKenzie Pass) west of Sisters (narrow, twisty, scenic road) then south on Aufderheide road past Cougar Hot Springs to Oakridge. Then Hwy 58 to the Cascade Lakes Hwy cutoff heading back North around Mt. Bachelor and into Bend. This will put you at our house for a late afternoon barbecue after a great 6 hour or so loop of festive riding. Third day: Head east out of Bend on backroads to Prineville then on the Post-Paulina road to John Day (110 miles of fast open road and canyons with very little traffic). Head north from Mt. Vernon to Monument, Spray, Fossil, Antelope, Shaniko. From here anyone who needs to head home early can head north. Otherwise, back to Bend and head home the next day by your own chosen route. How's that sound? MG  | ||

Here's a visual aid (of my guesstimate) for the route MG suggests above for those like me who are unfamiliar with the area. http://goo.gl/maps/WhVD Looks fun! (Message edited by chameleon on January 10, 2011) | ||

Paul Thanks for posting the visual aids. Big help. Mike Those routes look and sound perfect to me. I was planning on extending my SPLASH through the week anyway, so if the official SPLASH doesn't get us there I would still like to ride those roads. This is gonna be a great year. Yippee!!  | ||
| Mginbend |
Nicely done Paul! Notice how twisty the routes look on your map! MG  | ||

oooh ooh I'm in! | ||

I really like the ride plan Mike has presented. ILO Estacada, we could still do the traditional Friday evening meet in Woodland and continue on to Bend from there. This would only add about 40 miles to the Saturday ride. Other options? If ya'll can get the time off work, this would be an epic ride! | ||
| Funjimmy |
I'm in Chris & Mike. Will probably take the whole week and continue the freedom and fun. | ||
| Lonitaylor |
I have taken the 22 and 25th off so I am in! So is this the plan: Meet in Woodland on Thurs night (21st) Ride on Friday (22nd) Ride Sat (23rd) Ride Sun (24th) Depart on Mon (25th) Need to get this down to some actual dates so that people can plan. So excited that this is coming together!! | ||

Hey everyone, sorry for being absent from BadWeb for so long.. Mike and I are pretty much on the same track. I was going to suggest this: Start in Hood River. Then up Hy 35 via Parkdale and then hook in to FS46 via Timothy Lake (http://oregonmotorcyclist.com/ridepage.php?page=rd 42). Then on to Detroit and then to Sisters via McKenzie Pass (http://oregonmotorcyclist.com/ridepage.php?page=mc kenzie_hwy). I like Sisters, it's a cool small town. Next, head through Bend to Cascade Lakes Byway (http://oregonmotorcyclist.com/ridepage.php?page=ca scadelakes). Then up the Aufderheide (http://oregonmotorcyclist.com/ridepage.php?page=au fderheide) and back over McKenzie Pass (again!! - - trust me, you'll want to!) and on into Bend. Next, various routes for folks heading home the next day. However, if there's a way to get the Crooked River Backcountry Byway into the riding, I definitely suggest it. (http://www.byways.org/explore/byways/68920/travel. html) Anyway, that's my 2cents. | ||

I didn't renew my MotoGP ticket for this year, but it is the weekend of the 22nd-24th. I'm keeping my options open. Travel budged going to be tight as I have a big trip planned in March.  Keep in mind folks that it's going to be plenty warm during this time of year! | ||
| Lonitaylor |
Thanks Eric! All the ideas that you and Mike have given are great and I think no matter what we do it will be fun! | ||
| Bib |
Love the plan. I'm in for anything. Can't wait!!!!! Motorcycle show at the Tradex next weekend! | ||
| Lonitaylor |
