		<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>

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>

		<description><![CDATA[Wikipedia has an excellent description of Oregon Route 218. OR 218 is a fairly short rural highway. Its western terminus is in Wasco County, in the ghost town of Shaniko at U.S. Route 97. The road is very windy and hilly over its entire 43-mile (69 km) length and is a popular destination for motorcyclists. [...]]]></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.
