A picture worth a thousand Falls...

Ride to Multnomah Falls, originally uploaded by iam.ccc.

okay... so maybe not a THOUSAND... but I recently undertook an amazing feat, as I along with Steve and a friend, Tom, rode out to Multnomah Falls via Bicycle!! The ride was beautiful, breath-taking, and not as hard as I thought (thank my lucky stars)!!! It totaled about 45 miles!

As our route, we took the Blue line out to Gresham, started bicycling at 223rd Ave to Stark and then on to the Historic Columbia River Highway.

The steepest grade being 5%, but ascending and descending about 800 feet, we twisted and twirled through lush greenery, State Parks, and witnessed the torrential spring falls, due to the snow melting off the mountains. As we stopped at Vista point, I couldn't help but soak in the vintage photos... I think the only difference is that it is more mossy these days. HA!

The trip was a definite prep for the upcoming 400mi Oregon Coast trip. If you haven't heard, I am currently planning for a 9 day bicycling adventure along the Pacific Coast of Oregon, totaling 397.7 miles. Along with Steve, Dale, and a few others... we will be camping, biking, and of course snacking May 2nd-10th, some of the team will even continue on to San Fransisco...

oh I love my bicycle.
