posted on the meet and greet. but if you are like me, i always seem to look here first. Doing a long ride day on Sunday for Pacific NW area. Suzuki stevo and I and another person will be doing it. Would like to have other gsers join in. This weekend will be very nice.
If it was Saturday I would definitely be in. Taking the red eye to Boston Saturday night, so Sunday is out. Have fun!
Man I would love to go but I'm totally busy until June. I hope to be out with you guys next time.
Here is the route.. Seatac to SR167 to SR410 then Orting, Eatonville, Elbe, Morton, Randle to Packwood to CAYUSE PASS SR123 to CHINOOK PASS SR410 to WHITE PASS US12 to Packwood then backtrack?? Three mountain passes in one day, Seatac then back to Seatac again around 350 Miles....it's a hell of a ride! :cheers:

Chinook Pass (elevation 5430 ft./1656 m.) just opened this friday..this is what it will look like! :thumb:
"Route 410 through Chinook Pass has been designated by the U.S. government as the Chinook Scenic Byway. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful routes in the United States. Because the summit is above the treeline, there are many places to park along the road to view the scenery"

Cool, more than one GS500 Mt. St. Helens ride coming up this summer! :woohoo:
Why can't I have any nice roads nearby :embarassed: Not supposed to rain Sunday but guess what first time in three weeks I'm scheduled. Need the money!

That route looks great, I am in the next time.
Have fun! I'm jealous, I've done most of that route, if not all of it. FANTASTIC RIDE!
The ride went well! :thumb:
A friend of mine tagged along on a SuperHawk 996 (his fuel stops where quite frequent) But when it came to passing cars with a twist of the wrist...he ruled :bowdown:

Make sure to give another shout out for the next weekend ride, hopefully I'll be able to make that one! That looks like an amazing ride, sorry I missed it. I love to see pictures with more than 1 GS in them.
