Some of the Portland country bike crew rode the Dalles Mountain 60 route… the day after the actual DM60 event.

among the highlights were…

a 12 mile ascent on a muddy dirt road… sticky fender clogging mud. this 25% of the ride took about half the time. 

bush whacking across a thorny gully to access/ride the Maryhill Loops Rd.

With abandon,

Hugh - 

Did you click the link? Full-size + Astronomically aligned replica built during WW1 as a monument to the fallen and (then) still falling soldiers. I would like to return when the sun is out. Would be a neat place to hang around for sunrise or sunset. Our time there was short as we still had 25+ miles to ride with a few hundred feet of elevation gain and lots of gravel… and 2 hours of day light.  

The list of possible places to go this summer is long.

Stone Hedge? Looks familiar I'm pretty sure I went there.

Here's a few more pics from the ride.  Some are pretty bad photo wise, but content wise they are great!  This was a challenging ride, but tons-o-fun.
