Event Description

Come Ride With Us... Over Bald Mountain

Most of us have ridden over Bald Peak, but this ride crosses Bald Mountain, Southwest of Carlton. This route has never been featured as a OSC ride. Join us as we follow the country roads out to Carlton and then head up Nestucca River road nearly half way to the coast and turn south on a one lane paved Forest Service road for a run over Bald Mountain and work our way to Wilaimina. Fantastic scenery with almost no traffic. A ride most worthy of an afternoon.

Check this page 24 hours before the ride for any route or weather driven updates.

This ride will be at a touring pace. Check out the Ride Ticket and ride map (in four formats) for all the details.

Comment by Abigail Rollins, DMD on June 6, 2012 at 2:13pm: I do agree with Gary: "all the rides except one have taken far longer then the posted end time. although im sure its been brought up before, why do we start our rides so late on a sunday ? i only speak for myself, but i would like to be rolling by 10 and get home at an earlier time" Just something to consider maybe at the next big meeting.

Comment by Abigail Rollins, DMD on June 6, 2012 at 8:22am: Great challenging ride. It was good to see you all. I really like the ride sargent set up and dividing a large group in to a few smaller ones. Thanks to everyone for making it a fun day.

Comment by David kenney on June 4, 2012 at 1:34pm: I enjoyed this country living ride and the Mexican feed at the end.

Comment by Rick Fletcher on June 4, 2012 at 11:22am: I am glad everyone enjoyed the ride so much. The Zig Zag across the skyline ride is another one lane forest service road ride. Check out it out as it is our September 2012 ride.

Comment by Ernie Goble on June 4, 2012 at 9:10am: I'd sure consider doing it again.

Comment by Christie Sleight on June 4, 2012 at 9:08am: Great to see everyone at breakfast. It sounds like you had a great ride. Rick and I will be repeating the ride when I feel better. Perhaps you can joins if you missed the ride or want to repeat it.

Comment by Ernie Goble on June 3, 2012 at 8:49pm: I loved this ride. Could have been a bit warmer, but I don't think OSC could arrange that. I agree with Gary about the timing. But I mainly got in trouble for being late tonite because my phone went dead and I couldn't check in. But that was MY issue to deal with.

It was very good to get to practice my cornering skills, which are still developing. Getting better all the time.

And I'm always impressed by the friendliness of this group. I look forward to the next ride. (and wine tour and scooter raid) Thanks everyone.

Comment by Peggy Van Winkle on June 3, 2012 at 7:58pm: Great ride, and as alway's, great company. Thank's Rick, this was a treat.

Comment by James Shelton on June 3, 2012 at 7:07pm: I really enjoyed seeing everyone again and it was great to meet the new members. Thx to Rick for the work he put into the planning for all of us to have such a great ride.
