		<description><![CDATA[Puget Sound riders often lament that there&#8217;s no good places to go ride that aren&#8217;t completely riddled with speed traps, but perhaps what&#8217;s needed is a new place to ride. Manila Creek Road is just such a place. While it&#8217;s not 80 miles of uninterrupted twisties like FS25, you&#8217;re not going to see much traffic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Leading out of the Baker City, Oregon Route 86 is the most direct route out to the Hell&#8217;s Canyon area. And as one might surmise from the maps of the roadway, it might seem a bit too straight and a bit too flat if one&#8217;s gotten spoiled by the Central Oregon roads in the previous [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Up in the far reaches of Northern Washington, nearly bumping into Canada even, is a wonderful little backroad perfect for sport-touring. Why, you might ask would you go all the way up there to ride good roads? One fine reason is there&#8217;s hardly any other traffic on them. 37 miles of rural 2-lane with only [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s set back in a little nook between the Cascade and the Simcoe Mountain north of Goldendale. The Klickitat has carved an impressive channel down through &#8220;The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know a bunch of folks say these roads are boring. And I can&#8217;t argue that if you don&#8217;t enjoy open countrysides, the scenery isn&#8217;t much to write home about. One thing this stretch of 206 offers is fast and lonely sweepers. Well, lonely if you don&#8217;t count the occasional deer in the fields and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is another one of those interesting Oregon mountain roads. I thoroughly enjoyed it, not to mention that it beats the living daylights out of taking the interstate and droning through the Blue Mountains. Nobody else seems to be on this road on the weekends, and I&#8217;d be willing to bet that it&#8217;s busier during [...]]]></description>

This is not the case. From what I could see, that road has been on the bottom [...]]]></description>

Once you&#8217;re about 15 minutes in, you&#8217;ll start to see signs for various OHV riding and snowmobile areas, and shortly afterwards the road starts to get interesting with much tighter and more frequent [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a mere 35 miles long and links the towns of Kimberly [...]]]></description>

The roads gently weave in between the rolling hills of trees and fields, with an occasional village with a gas station and market, with hardly any other vehicular traffic out on the road.

		<description><![CDATA[Pioneer Highway. A nice curvy specimen of roadcraft and an apt name as well, since the road curves here and there all over the Stillaguamish River valley. The pavement is a little rough and appears to be surprisingly light-duty for what is a state highway, after all. There&#8217;s significant bumps along the road and small [...]]]></description>
