No. 48

As you may already know, every good ride starts with good coffee. And today’s ride started with a cortado from Never Coffee in Downtown Portland.



For me, prepping my bike entails lowering my psi, shifting my handlebars in an aggressive position, lowering my windscreen, and putting my knee pads on.




Sam brought his buddy Artur, and it was a pleasure riding with him and his DR650. Sam and Artur definitely make me miss my XR650L.




They say “if you’re not crashing, then you’re not pushing yourself hard enough”. I like to tell myself that in order to feel better about always dumping my bike lol.


I don’t know why, but I always think photos of people peeing is good story-telling content.




After Kilchis Falls and Triangulation Point, we decided to jump back on Highway 6 and ride 10 miles east to Browns Camp OHV for some fun single-track.




Airing up for the ride home.






I like this sort of riding because it’s great for building skills; high speed stopping, hard accelerating, power sliding, body positioning, etc…
