The ride today

We set out heading for Vernonia Oregon,that is situated in the coast range mountains at the northern end. We rode from there towards Astoria that sits at the month of the
Columbia River. We took 202 that winds its way through the forest and is a bit rough in places.



We were dodging these guys in the corners most all of the way, gotta really be on the look out for em as they don't slow down.



We arrived in Astoria and headed for,the Pig and Pancake for lunch. Place sits almost under the bridge that crosses over the Columbia river. Back to the Washington state side.



Great lunch and conversation then it was time to head up and over the bridge. The wind was blowing pretty hard from the ocean side and there were also large swells and white caps on the ocean side from the wind. The bridge is 4 miles across and would not want to do it when there is a large storm coming in from the ocean. The picture is taken from the Washington state side looking back to Astoria.



Stopped and took those pics with my IPhone 4. The next pic looking back again at
Astoria with Saddle Mountain in the back ground.
Was a good ride all tool around 270 miles today.
We were going go check out that other rode in the Cascades we found tomorrow, but now they are reporting on the news that there is a fire right where we would be coming down from B-Z Corners. Gonna have to think of someplace else to ride.
