Harris Covered Bridge

This is the second covered bridge in my Oregon covered bridge series. According to the sign on the bride, the Harris Covered Bridge was built in 1929. Carl and I went out yesterday to see a total of four covered bridges plus some nice views along the coast.

Back roads ride with Carl while Jesi and Brent chase behind

A few months back Carl and I went for a motorcycle road along some of the back roads of the Oregon Coast Range. Jesi and Brent followed in Brent’s sports car. Jesi served as photographer for the expedition. It took me a while to get these photos up but finally… here they are!

Carl rolling over the top of the hill with me out of sight around the corner.

Gliding around the corners.

Trying to look around the narrow one-lane trestle underpass to see if it’s all-clear for us to proceed.

A Honda and a Harley can get along after all!

Into the primeval forests of the coast range.

Down a mud road toward Siletz.

This feels like something out of The Road or maybe some post-apocalyptic view of the world. Just two gray riders surrounded by a gray landscape. I’m thinking about getting a print of this made and framing it.

Into the darkened woods and the unknown.

Engineering Biker Gang

Today I went on a ride with several engineering friends. We did the Alsea Falls loop where we found car after car to slow our progress. Even with the less than fast roads, it was still quite a bit of fun. In Belfountain we stopped for a photo of our Engineering Biker Gang.
