OK All, here is a thread just for crater lake talk.
Dates are confirmed, Aug 22nd and 23rd.
Lodging is confirmed, "crater lake ride;confirmed date,aug 22/23. cabin has been reserved for sat night $235/6 persons at union creek resort. we may fit a coupe extras. this will be a good time!" We'll just do the math when we get there and figure out the split.
Lets do a role call, So far I think its:
XB Sweede
Slim Dave
Borrowedbike
Thepod
Mrs. The Pod
"possibles" from CR Daniel and Livnloud.
We should take a hard look at routes. I'm willing to ride a LOT to avoid the slab, same way want to shave some hours of saddle time and take the slab a large portion of the way. If your going, please weigh in. Google maps a plus.
Is this a ride there and Ride back? Or a ride there, Ride around, sleep, ride around, ride back thing?
If your going please try and make Saturdays meeting, this will be a hot topic of discussion. |

I sent a route suggestion to Dave that eliminates almost all slabbing.
Yes this will be a good discussion for Saturday and we can review routes and what everyone really prefers to ride.

Ok, Mrs. ThePod is not going. Looks like she doesn't want to be surrounded by stinky dudes all day long. If there are other women going she is willing to participate, otherwise it's a sausage part at crater lake |

The route to & around Steamboat (Hwy138) is detoured cause of the Glide fires. NF19 around Cougar Res. to Oakridge is good. |

Alternate suggestions?? |
Livnloud

Maybe it will rain and put them out. Yes, we need to have an alternate plan but let's hope the fires get put out. |

We can use Hwy 58 east to Dalles/Cali Hwy south, E. Diamond Lake rd. to W.Diamond Lk. rd to Crater Lake Hwy (62). We can look @ a couple dif roads to get back. |

I want to do the ride but not sure if I want to go the long way. Anyone got plans for some thing a little shorter? IS every one sleeping in the same space or camping? Id like a little camping. |

There is at this moment another cabin and some rooms available at the lodge. There is a campground 100yds down the road. Union Creek's ph# 866-560-3565, if you want to get individual room cost. |

Suggested Route: You will need to cut and paste the following link into a browser window, stupid graphics.

Sounds Like Carley will be slabbing it down I5 rather than hit the extended twisties, those that want to ride that route are free to plan it.
Route there is 338 Miles of twisties estimated at 10 hours by google. I suggest we are kickstands UP at 0800 SAturday AM.
Thoughts? |

Borrowed's map in a more readable form.
Paul does this look right? Other than the last part which I know looks jacked?

Pod the beginning I think should be either Redland or clackamas river rd/Springwater rd into Estacada. Much more pleasant then riding 224 into Estacada. |

Looks good, there are a couple "overlaps"
One at Steamboat and one at Breitenbrush.
Who wants to put this in Zumo track for the GPS equiped? |

We will be meeting at Latus at 7:30 am on Saturday the 22nd for the Crater lake ride. Kickstands up by 8:00 am.
This should be a very fun and scenic ride. |

Can't wait. Do you think we should leave a little earlier, it seems like its going to be a long ride down? |

I am gonna bail out on this trip. If I go down to Crater Lake I would like to spend some more time there and take my girl with me.
Looks like a great route, everybody ride safe. |

Dave will have to confirm but I believe he said 8 could be squeezed in. |

How are you looking for head count? I will know ~ noon today if I can go last min. Looks like I may finish my field project this afternoon instead of Sat. |
