Tell us more about Crater Lake... I've spent 53 hours this year. It will be a good race. not sure what so say about Crater. It speaks for itself. http://rideoregonride.com/road-routes/crater-lake-rim-route/ My favorite route is to start below the rim and ride into the park from Annie Creek. It's like 70 miles and 6000 ft of climbing. Fun ride if the weather isn't too hot. My all time fastest speed record was on the backside of the rim. 49 mph. Great terrain up here. I know I am far from everyone, so a forum visit here is probably highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted March 14, 2016 Share #63 Posted March 14, 2016 I wanted to go to Crater Lake on my last trip to Oregon, but it didn't fit in the itinerary. Definitely on my "to do" list Why hasn't Cheese popped in to say Greenville yet?

Wilbur ★ Posted March 14, 2016 Share #74 Posted March 14, 2016 You people are too regional in your thinking. How about the Wilbur family compound in the Thompson Okanagan region of BC? There is the main cottage with 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and a private studio apartment above the garage. Room for campers and tenters as well. Lake for swimming, fishing, wake boarding or crushing in a 30's era cedar lakeboat. US funds are at. Premium so anything you spend is discounted by 30 %. great open spaces for mtb rides on the cattle ranch, 4 4 wheelers and six motor bikes. If you want to do road rides, that can be done too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds very nice. They did say they wanted to make it centrally located. I didn't think they meant centrally located between NYC and Tokyo. Does this elite compound have a 300 ft sod airstrip for me to land my plane? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
