    Reuben Run to YFO: What to do?

    Festar and I did this on the way to Rays several years ago (2014 i recall). It is one of the finest roads I've ridden in Oregon. There is little traffic. We had a few miles of well maintained gravel at the Burns end. Nothing to be scared of, and the rest of the road made it all worthwhile...
