If you want to go, speak now or hold your peace, so I know if I need to hit up cascade station.

On the fence on this one. I want to go but wish it wasn't this early or as long a route.

Will likely end up going dirt biking instead tomorrow.

If any of you want to do a scapoose vernonia run on Sunday let me know.

This said road is owned by merryhill museum and can be rented out. I will look into renting it (if possible) for a possible hill climb day. Fingers crossed!

Join a hill climbing car club

Good thing you didn't do it on Sat. I drove to TheDalles from Mosier and got stuck behind a slow moving vehicle, something called a Corvette. Looked fast but slooooow.
Had to bail and get on the freeway. The weekends bring out the Sunday drivers oh yeah cyclists too.
Mid week is the way to go.

I saw a Gorge sunrise driving to ORP for a track day last year. Well worth getting up early for the run, incredible light and shadows on a clear day.

When you go to Maryhill Museum, you'll get a pass to Maryhill Winery (International Winery of the Year 2014) down the road and a comp flight of wine tasting, about 9-10 samples per adult.

Maryhill Loops has sanctioned hillclimb events in September but you can walk or bicycle past the locked gate anytime.
