Nice sunny day today, off through the woods headed toward the county backroads. Started off with a little singletrack through the local forest<\/p>\n

\"Sun<\/a><\/p>\n

Exiting the woods, I headed out towards Mosier, OR on county backroads. A county road is a little different around here than most county roads in the United States; many of them are not paved, some don’t receive maintenance for years at a time. There is going to be a “Cycling Cross Mountain” Gran Fondo<\/a> over the roads in the photo below, we’ll see how that goes.<\/p>\n

\"Backroad<\/a><\/p>\n

These backroads have great scenery, but the road itself can be rocky, gravelly, sandy and rutted; you have to pay attention to what you’re doing<\/p>\n

\"Mosier<\/a><\/p>\n

I took a side trip down one of the many abandoned logging roads and came upon a pretty nice view. Over the nearest hills is the Hood River Valley and the Columbia River. A little farther out are the mountains of Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Way out there is snowcapped Mt. Adams.<\/p>\n

\"Looking<\/a><\/p>\n

Another detour led to this nice unnamed singletrack that clearly doesn’t get much use. I didn’t see too much of it; I was alone and didn’t have my GPS, not smart to take too many chances in that situation. We’ll be back to check it out later.<\/p>\n

\"Secret<\/a>
\n\"Secret<\/a><\/p>\n

Headed south all day, turn around and head back north, the road home had Mt. Adams in the distance<\/p>\n

\"Wasco<\/a><\/p>\n

Think we’ll be headed over to Washington tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
