Mt St Helens II

Netnorske · 07-03-2009, 08:39 AM

Hi Guys,
I'm tentatively planning another run at Mt St Helens on Sunday July 19. The plan would be to run up the east side to Windy Ridge via the town of Randle. For those coming from the south, we could plan to meet in Morton at the big Chevron/Mini-Mart just off Hwy 12.

This a spectacular ride and takes you into the heart of the blast zone. Currently the road is not open all the way to Windy Ridge, but it is scheduled to open in the next few days I believe. Of course I will make sure it is before departing. If you are interested in joining Tricia and I....chime in here as the more the merrier...

!!

Wish I had Sundays off; it sounds like a great ride.

Netnorske...

Peeking in from the SENR forum.

Yes, that is a beautiful ride, Did it by car and only imagined what it would be like on 2 wheels. You folks enjoy yourself and have a safe ride...Joe

Kris- I am not sure if I can make this ride. We are scheduled to go the coast that weekend but sounds like plans may change.....might take a few days to give you a solid answer.

**schoeney** · 07-08-2009, 10:33 PM

I can do it....I am in! see you guys in Morton @ 9:30 am on Sunday.

ballast · 07-09-2009, 12:49 AM

So we are up to 3 and I might bring a friend from work.

**schoeney** · 07-09-2009, 10:41 PM

I don't have any friends...sorry. :'(

ballast · 07-09-2009, 11:17 PM

Bring someone and I'll give 'em 20bucks to be nice to you

**schoeney** · 07-10-2009, 10:59 AM

You might regret that offer!

ballast · 07-10-2009, 11:54 PM

It wouldn't be the first time and heaven knows it won't be the last.

duneseven · 07-13-2009, 10:56 PM

to early for me from the east side, but ballast make it 100 and me and my friend schoeney will split it not a even split of coarse

**schoeney** · 07-13-2009, 11:34 PM

You are right Dune....you get the $20 and I will take the balance. Sorry you can't make it. There is a decent hotel in Morton that has vacancies if you wanted to arrive on Saturday.

Netnorske · 07-13-2009, 11:48 PM

I called the ranger station today in Randle and the road to Windy Ridge is open all the way! Looking forward to seeing you all at the big Chevron/Mini-Mart in Morton around 9:30 Sunday. So far the weather looks great!

duneseven · 07-14-2009, 10:42 PM

thats not the uneven split I was thinking of schoeney I was thinking 90 10 the other way, but thanks for being so generous, all of you have a blast on the ride
