I am nearly finished with the first of the route plans I am going to put on Amazon to sell. It is only an 80 mile / 2hr trip (oneway) but that doesnt count the miles you have to ride to get to the starting point. So it could be an all day trip, depending on where you start out. This first one runs from about 900 ft elevation up over a twisting 4,000 ft mountain pass, and then twisting down through about another 55 miles of secluded, and remote mountain twisties that finally dump out in the Columbia River National Recreation Area. The hard part is getting all the motels, campgrounds, and gas stations (they're only at each end), listed and shown on the maps. I'm hoping this will be just the first of many such ride routes. I have about a 1/2 dozen routes just in the south Cascade mountains to work on already. Plus others out along the coast and on the east side of the Cascades. It would be a nice way to make a little extra cash with these, and they would be great, because they wont cost much. Since they'll just be .pdf files, I'll be selling them for a buck, maybe two. But if I had to print up each of these thing and sell them...it'd be more like $7-10 each. Besides, I keep telling people about the great roads here in Washington, these will be a great way of actually showing everyone.
Catch ya on the road sometime...
