593 miles. I’ll need to break that up (and wait for the snow to melt) but it looks like an awesome ride. I'll put it on the list for this summer. Thanks.

Go south out of Randle to FR 25 it pops out down near lake merwin then go west
Closed in winter
Asphalt scenery and curves

Extend that by turning east on FR90 before Swift Reservoir, over Curly Cr. Rd. to Carson and Hwy 14 west to I-5. More asphalt scenery and curves.

Both areas here are good rides, just be careful as there is some asphalt heaving in some areas.😉

What kind of riding? Gravel ,pavement, trails? Are you street legal or enduro
Street legal. My bike is dual sport and is quite capable in gnarly terrain, my old body however, not so much. I prefer blacktop, hard packed gravel or dirt. I’m not a fan of miles of loose gravel and I’d rather not ride roads where I need a mouth guard to keep my teeth from rattling.
That said, I’ll probably do some of the Joe Watt when that opens.

Be careful on FR 90 between Cougar and Curly Cr. Rd. It's a great stretch if you need to dislodge a kidney stone.

The 101 Loop is a great ride from Aberdeen up the coast, plenty of side trips like Neah Bay, Sekiu, etc.. then around through Brinnon and down Hood Canal. Then east around to Belfair.

That stretch down from Sequim to Shelton past Brinnon scares the hell out of me and I dont even ride bikes. Every summer I see or hear of at least a couple riders getting killed on that stretch. More seriously injured. Couldnt tell you how many times Ive seen Life flight at Dosiwallups park taking out bikers. And a lot of those arent the riders fault! If you take that route, please be very careful!

I have one that I picked up in December. It is a fun bike to ride. Fits an interesting niche. Planning on camping with it a lot this spring and summer.

Laat summer I thought I was gonna ironbutt a ride to my Idaho hunting spot, made it 50 miles + a good bit of side excursions, and my butt and back was hurting bad.

I’ve scratched the BDR off my list of perspective rides after watching a couple Youtube vids. Seems like it’s just a commercialization of the sport to sell farkle to doctors and dentists so they can trick out their BMWs and subsequently drop $30K and 600lbs of bike down a nasty gravel hill.
Maybe 30 years ago, with a proper enduro bike.
