Portland Area Group Ride — Mt. Hood Loop

[pdedse]

Thanks all for the ride! Great meeting you guys and enjoyed finally seeing other CB1100s on the rode, a first for me. Our Ducati companion showed us his heels just after leaving I-84 and heading south on 35 towards Mt. Hood, followed by a sheriff with lights on...I think we all thought he was a gonner and that we would soon pass him by, maybe take a photo of LEO handing over a ticket, but he just flashed his lights at John and let him ride on! Nice.

Later on in the day...unrelated, but weird sight: I was walking along Columbia River Drive near airport and saw a car fly upside down through the air--could clearly see the tires facing up--only to crash down an embankment. I have no idea how that could have happened. People stopped in both directions and ran to their aid, but I saw no movement coming out of the car. Just a very strange thing.

Back to the ride...sometimes I forget just how close I live to some spectacular riding areas! Ok, actually, I don't forget!
