Hi,
I'm taking a new rider down to Portland and back the weekend of April 19 / 20. She's only done local trips so far, 20 miles max on back roads like 202 and 203.
I'm looking for suggestions for an easy route (so probably not over Rainier and down the back of Mt St Helens) with a few nice places to stop for coffee, lunch etc. to break the miles. We will be starting from Sammamish / Issaquah area. I'll be riding my FJR and she'll either be on my Honda VFR Interceptor or on her own Triumph Bonneville 800. Her Bonne has no weather protection or luggage - just naked ... so I'm hoping she opts for the Interceptor but leting her choose.
Thanks for suggestions of roads and places to stop,
Riona
