					<p>Finally got it together to get out and do some exploring in the Mt. Hood National Forest. I’m super pumped about it and can’t wait for more! Operating on a few tips from a customer who overheard me talking about wanting to do it (thanks Mike!), I drove out to Ripplebrook ranger station on Hwy 224 east of Estacada to start my ride.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/" rel="attachment wp-att-3892"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3892" alt="IMG_1080" src="../../wp-content/uploads/2013/07/IMG_1080-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225"/></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Free day parking is allowed at the far end of the parking lot of the ranger station, where there is a little store, restroom, and general services. They don’t open till ten, so depending on how early of a start you want to get, you may want to stock up on any last minute items in Estacada.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/" rel="attachment wp-att-3893"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A good percentage of the riding out there is gravel, but of the improved variety for the most part, so you can get away with road bike, but I would suggest at least a 28mm tire as there were some looser and rougher sections. If you have the option to ride a touring bike, cyclocross bike, or something with wider tires, I’d recommend it.</p>
<p>I mapped out an 80 mile loop up FSD 57 & 58 around Timothy Lake, then around Clear Lake, up to Hwy 26, then down FSD 42 &46, then back onto Hwy 224. Awesome roads, fantastic scenery, and maybe 10 cars the whole day.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Timothy Lake, improved gravel, Clear Lake lunch stop.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/" rel="attachment wp-att-3897"></a><a href="/" rel="attachment wp-att-3898"> </a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Old school GPS & new school GPS, both came in handy. The descent down 42. Awesome!</p>
