You can take advantage of the TriMet line 30 (in blue in my map) to whisk you out of town to the very edge of the Mt Hood National Forest.<br />
<br />
Travel Oregon calls it the <a href="https://traveloregon.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/bicycling/abbot-barlow-pioneer/" target="_blank">Abbot Barlow Pioneer</a>, but it's the wilderness riding that stands out to me. It takes advantage of so-called "roads" that form boundaries between designated wilderness areas (you can't ride a bike in the wilderness areas). Luckily these are not paved, or even passable by cars for the most part. Only bikes, dirt bikes, and hikers can complete the Abbot Rd portion of this journey.<br />

Paint is not Protection</h2>
"Paint is not protection" is the message from the <a href="https://bikeportland.org/2019/04/26/portlanders-set-out-red-cups-to-push-for-more-protection-while-cycling-298936">Red Cup Project</a>.

<h2>
Advantages of spaced barriers over continuous:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Cheaper and easier to deploy and move if needed</li>
<li>Reduce accumulation of debris in bike lane<br />
</li>
<li>
Allow pullover space for emergency vehicles to pass<br />
</li>
<li>
Allow bikes to pass obstacles or exit for left turn <br />
</li>
<li>
Won’t serve as a drunk guide, enabling impaired driving as continuous barriers do.</li>

The route was supposed to be the Corral Mainline, a major gravel logging road, but what Google mapped in this portion was actually the route of a natural gas pipeline and not a road at all. But <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/about">Open Street Map</a> got it right, as displayed in their <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=corral%20mainline#map=16/45.7915/-123.1165&layers=C">OSM Cycle</a> layer:<br />

<br />
Two lucky factors let us navigate onward without having to painfully backtrack:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Although we were out of mobile network range, my Google Maps app on my phone had cached some Terrain View tiles. (This is luck, unlike the regular base map layer, you can't <i>intentionally </i>download Terrain layer maps)</li>
<li>In many areas Google's Terrain View derives its images low-resolution topographic maps, but <a href="http://opentopography.org/blog/lidar-beginning-appear-google-maps-terrain-layer">in parts of Oregon and a few other places</a> it uses <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidar">LiDAR</a>, a high-resolution elevation mapping technique. The LiDAR image (on the left above) revealed the topography of the real Corral Mainline so we were able to bushwhack up to it and get back on track. </li>
</ol>
Even in Oregon <a href="http://www.oregongeology.org/sub/projects/olc/plc.htm">LiDAR coverage</a> is spotty: on our ride we also visited the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_and_Southwestern_Railroad_Tunnel">Nehalem Divide Tunnel</a> but LiDAR was not available there and the ordinary topo maps did nothing to reveal the old railroad bed.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907139645891563609.post-9487536083952950582016-04-22T00:04:00.001-07:002016-04-22T00:04:41.776-07:00Salmonberry bike ridePreview of the <a href="https://salmonberrycorridor.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Salmonberry Corridor</a><br />
