Default Oregon!

After a recent two week travel one week on Arizona and one week in New Mexico I appreciate the Oregon views. The weather in the desert is good but the view is crap sorry i'm just not into the desert. Just got home for father's day and realize how much i love the GREEN.

The riding year round thing is something I envy. However I don't need a state to help me choose my Political choice. I'm a big enough man to make that decision based on what I believe... I still want McCain for Prez!

And there are no deer running out in front of you at the last second. Snakes and Rabbits maybe, you know, the soft stuff.

I still ride year round in Portland. In winter, it rarely freezes and there are always breaks in the weather every week that you can get out for a ride. Summers here are hard to beat; low humidity, 80-85 degrees, very dry, and you can't beat the scenery.....Coast rides, lush green Willamette valley, or a high desert ride on the east side of the Cascades...

I totally agree, the OP states he likes to ride in that area and that makes him a "socialist"?. Haha. Someone needed more hugs from momma.
