Closed Chapter Ride

This is an annual favorite ride. It starts with a ride to Vernonia for a quick stop and gas (If needed), then off we go over Hwy 47 to Hwy 202 into the coast range forest, coming out onto the back bay area of Astoria and a lunch stop at Fultano's Pizza. After lunch, we will go to the Chevron station in Astoria to fill up, and then across the Megler bridge to Washington. There we will ride through the southwest Washington forest along the Columbia with a comfort stop in Cathlamet.

This will be a Washington-side ride, going up back roads and smaller highways to Longview and crossing into Washington there, then going to Soltero's Mexican Restaurant for a delicious lunch break, after which we will head back to Paradise H-D. KSU will be 1030 and I expect to be back sometime between 1500-1600. The exact route is still TBD as I'm currently working on building it to fit the time frames and keep it fun.

Arrive: 10:00 AM
KSU: 10:30 AM

Lunch: Soltero's Mexican Restaurant

The chapter is picking up the tab for the shortcake. Willamette Valley Pie Co also has lunch available for purchase. A short rest stop will be made in Silverton.

This is a destination ride. If you would like an escort back to PHD, a group will be heading back that way.
