		<description><![CDATA[Road Report provided by Joe Trombetta If you&#8217;re up in the Northwestern Oregon&#8217;s Tillamook and Yamhill Counties, you&#8217;ll find some excellent riding up there. Twisty gnarly little roads that benefit greatly from some off-road and marginal-road experience, for certain, but very rewarding when the other roads are full of cars and RVs.

		<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>

I thoroughly enjoyed it, not to mention that it beats the living daylights out of taking the interstate and droning through the Blue Mountains.

		<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>

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>

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.
