Ride Map for Eastern Oregon 2006 Ride

We've already ridden these roads at different times, but we're running out of unique combinations.

Saturday morning, Sept. 16, we'll meet at the Bridge St. Inn for breakfast at 8:00. We'll plan to leave at 9. From there, we'll head up Hiway 7 to Hiway 245 - Dooley Mtn. -

stop at the Unity Reservoir for a break.

From the Reservoir we'll head to Ukiah. If anyone needs fuel (it'll be 135 miles to Ukiah from Baker City) they'll need to fuel up at Austin Junction. At Austin Junction we turn onto Hiway 7, go about 1 mile, and turn left onto the Middle Fork Road. At Hiway 395 turn right, go about 30 miles, turn right to go to Ukiah.

Fuel up, eat lunch and/or snacks in Ukiah.

From Ukiah we'll ride to Sumpter, stop at the Gold Dredge in Sumpter for a break, then on to Baker City.

It's roughly 225 miles. We originally planned on the Hells Canyon Loop, but it was close to 300 miles and thought that was a little far since most people have to travel so far to get here in the first place.

We'll BBQ at our place Saturday evening. We'll supply the hamburger, buns, and fixings.

It didn't save large enough to read the first time, so here's page 2 a little bigger.

  

Oops!

An R6 will not go 200 miles on one tank of gas at freeway+ speeds. It will go 191 miles - 6 miles short of the gas station. Don't ask how I would know this. I did get a picture of a nice sunset that I would not have stopped to take otherwise.


 
 
  

Women with wanderlust

Jim and I had the honor of meeting these two lovely women. They traveled in RV's for 10 years and ended up in Baker City. We met with them on a Sunday afternoon and visited for a couple of hours. They had lots of advice and stories to share. We appreciate the time they spent with us and look forward to visiting with them again.

Jim's Famous

There was a large motorcycle rally in Baker City and the newspaper interviewed Jim for an article they were writing up.
