mtngoat Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 HI folks the weather is getting suuuuper nice out here and I think it's time to see if we can throw together an informal fun run and road loop, followed by a barbeque at my place. I'm thinking we'd meet up at the Park n Ride in Bingen WA, just across the Hood River bridge. Then we'd count heads and take off up the highway towards Mt Adams and trout lake, make a right at BZ corners and take the awesome back way to Glenwood, then Glenwood to Goldendale, then Goldendale to Rock Creek or Klickitat, then loop back to the ranch, park and party. Lots of curves, eye melting views, little to no traffic. I'm thinking any time in the next few weeks prior to Memorial Day. Interest? 1 Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'm in if people show. Kinda been needing to go to Hood River anyway.I have a buddy who films that lives up there. He would probably be able to film the run. Quote Link to comment

mtngoat Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 love to see ya q tip, if you haven't been to the area the views will knock your socks off. Heck I've been here 10 years and some days they still take my breath away. Add in twisty, fairly empty roads in good condition and it's cruising paradise Quote Link to comment

Silky_Johnson Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 My goon is down right now as I'm doing some mods on the back axle (wink wink). Hopefully, I'll be up for a Gorge fun run soon, but I don't know... If I'm lucky, I'll have a running 510 again in less than two weeks. Quote Link to comment
