I have a round-trip ride planned for some time this summer when the days are long enough. Tacoma out to Cle Elum via I-90 (or another more scenic route if it exists), to Peshantin and Leavenworth, then back to the seattle area via hwy 2. 11 hours round trip according to google maps. This could easily be stretched into a camp night and spread out into 2 days.I'd also like to loop the olympic peninsula, if a jaunt into the Hoh Rainforest is planned, which is always worthwhile, that's an automatic weekend ride.
You might wish to avoid heavy traffic on I-90 from Bellvue/Issaquah to Cle Elum. From Tacoma, go thru Enumclaw to Yakima via White Pass or Chinook, from Yakima, take the river road from Selah to Ellensburg, Hy97 Blewitt Pass to intersect Hy-2 at Dryden, west on 2 thru Leaveneorth to Sultan. At Sultan south on Mann road and small roads over to intersect Hy 203 thru Carnation and Duval. At Fall City/Preston, east on I-90 to intersect Hy-18 to Auburn.This route keeps you off interstate highways for all but about ten minutes.If you need to carb up, I recommend Big-Y Cafe two miles east of intersection Hy-97 and Hy-2. Good people, outdoor seating, next to your motorcycle, great food, fair prices. Safe journeys,Dick CaseyThanks for that........... we have been roaring around in that hood for a few years now.Ill keep ya all posted on journeys coming up.Ciao Dale ;D
Hey AH Fan, I'm just across the border in B'ham. Most of what I do is day rides but I'd like to explore the inland empire and maybe into Idaho and Oregon a bit more. I'd also like to explore more BC hwy 3 on 2 wheels. PM me - we could set something up.Cheers,Shawn
Hey Shawn.A couple of us were thinking of doing the Hoh loop later this spring ...casual 2 day deal.What do you ride and what's your comfort level per day for mileage? Just curious. ;D
