		<description><![CDATA[This road is a fun little stretch of highway that zips across the Deschutes River Valley (via Tygh Valley) south of Tygh Ridge.  The road intersects with US 197 about 7-8 miles north of Maupin&#8217;s sweet twisties and heads back to the Deschutes River and its own set of twisties.
There&#8217;s fuel and food in [...]]]></description>

Halfway through this ride, I dubbed it &#8220;The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For riders used to the hustle &#38; bustle of Western Washington, Washington&#8217;s Route 20 is prone to inducing a bit of mental dissonance. If you departed on your trip from Seattle, you&#8217;ve spent the last couple hundred around lots of cars, motorcycles, and RVs. Well, that pretty much seems to end once you&#8217;re east of [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s no photos here, as the road doesn&#8217;t have much in the way of a view. It follows the river for the [...]]]></description>

This one, on the river side of US30 is a bit different. This one runs through a still hilly but far more agricultural and bucolic settings than the [...]]]></description>

The Inner Passage holds a marked allure for me. Usually, when I am trying to get an event or a function, I&#8217;m in a [...]]]></description>
