Are you still looking for a copilot?

My friend Dan Knutson and I rode to Tillamook from
Cherry Grove via Blind Cabin Ridge Rd. and down to Trask River Rd.
about 15 years ago.
Prior to that, Dan had ridden a different route that included
overnighting near the summit of Trask Mt.

This is the route I rode in April of 2006. It is gravel at some point beyond Pike until you reach Trask Park in the Tillamook Valley. There are no signs or road markers so it can be confusing. I remember seeing a hand made sign pointing towards “Blind Cabin” at one point and that helped me orient myself on the map. I guess a GPS would be nice.

I posted the map here: http://funreflector.com/files/trasknorthfork.pdf

This sounds like real adventure travel! The scenery looks wonderful, and now we are on tenterhooks waiting to know if that 14 mile section can be ridden.

Great post! Exploring new places is one of the strongest hooks this sport sinks into me. Wish I could ride that last section with you. Be careful, have fun, then tell us all about it!
