Makin' Some Noise
With some of the tastiest twisties and sweetest sweepers this side of the Beartooth Highway, Central Oregon is a motorcyclist's delight! Hwy 218 from Shaniko to Fossil - as an example, is one of those stretches of pavement that is precisely what the FJR was made for; fast sweepers rolling into stacks of hairpin switchbacks launching you into and out of some of the most gorgeous high desert canyons you've ever laid eyes on. Sheer unadulterated fun!!
A large group of us had so much fun there earlier this year I couldn't resist putting together another Maupin romp before the PNW weather turns ugly. This time though, I thought an overnighter might be just the thing; end-of-the-day beers, barbecue and bench racing by the Deshutes river which runs right across the back yard of the Imperial River Co. hotel. Sounds like fun, huh?! Details below:
What: Maupin Romp: PNWFOG Fall Get-Together
Where: Maupin, Oregon
When: Saturday, 10/4, thru Sunday, 10/5, 2008
Base: Imperial River Co., 304 Bakeoven Rd, Maupin, Oregon 97037
If you're staying overnight, make reservations ASAP! The Imperial River Co. hotel has ample rooms available now, but they do fill-up fast. Reservations can be made online by clicking the link above. (Try as I might, I couldn't get them to give us a room discount unless I was willing to buy up a block of rooms. Uh.... No.) A continental breakfast is included in the room rate.
I'll post up some suggested rides in the coming weeks. In the meantime, clean off your calendars and make plans to be at the PNWFOG Maupin Romp, October 4th & 5th, 2008. See you there!
