Went for a ride last Saturday with the BMW RO club.  Left from Salem, joined up with a few folks in Silverton then on to the beginning point of Sandy, OR.   From there, 23 riders strong, we played over the shoulders of Mt. Hood, and in and out of some great canyons on the scrub desert east side for a great lunch in Moro, OR.  After that up to The Dalles, and then I ran the Columbia River Gorge to Portland and back south the Salem.  Great day and wonderful riding.
