A Curvy 1 Hour Jaunt 1:00 Saddle Time - 60.4 Miles An out & back scenic road full of sweeps and twisties. Starts 2 minutes from Rally HQ and is non-stop curves from there. Ride out till you reach the transition to gravel (or whenever you like), turn around and run those sweeps and twisties in the opposite direction. It's like a whole new road.

Cow Creek Curves New 1:44 Saddle Time - 65 Miles Right out the west side of Canyonville for a jaunt through the country side, and some of the bestest, remotest, loneliest, prettiest curves in Oregon. FIND 2 HOURS FOR THIS RIDE.

|
Rogue River Loop This route is no longer complete. The road between Galice and Rand has been damaged and closed to traffic indefinitely. 2:30 Saddle Time - 120 Miles This curvy route takes you along the Rouge River - at least a small piece of it. The river runs for hundreds of miles, much of it nowhere near a road. There are a couple of parks around the midway point to pull off and stretch or a sack lunch break.
|
Powers and Back 3:40 Saddle Time - 175 Miles A nice, easy ride through tree lined and open sections of scenery. Some of the route runs along the middle fork of Coquille River. The turn around point is the small town of Powers, OR. There may be an opportunity to grab lunch at Powers, otherwise, there are a few other options for services along the way. The road appears to have many curves in some sections, so ride at a moderate pace and enjoy the scenery.
|
A Curvy Scenic 2+ Hour Ride 2:30 Saddle Time - 122 Miles Ride out to the Lost Creek Marina at Lost Creek Lake along some awesome twists and sweeps. Then you ride on back. It's like a whole different road!

They open more road every day. 4:45 Saddle Time - 231Miles Hitting the curves right out of Rally HQ, enjoy the scenery on the route to Crater Lake, ride up the more popular and well known west side for spectacular views.

|
Coos Bay Split 3:40 Saddle Time - 190 Miles Modification required, no more split As usual, lots of curves on your way to the Oregon coast and scenic fishing town of Coos Bay. Hang out for quaint vibes or do some antiquing. Enjoy the views, beaches and coast life. Plenty of interesting eateries for you foodies. Then head on back to HQ via different back roads
|
National Redwoods - Hiouchi Visitors (Closest) 4:36 Saddle Time - 230 Miles The Hiouchi Visitor Center is the closest stand and facility in the redwoods National Parks. The redwoods near Hiouchi are amazing, but they aren't the largest grove. Traveling the scenic, curvy Hwy 199 is a treat.
|
Straight to Shasta / Weed - the Short 5:00 Saddle Time - 298 Miles This is the fast way to get to Mt. Shasta and Weed CA for touristy stuff. It skips some cool curves to save time. If you want to spend some extra time and include sweeps and twists look lower at "Show Me Shasta, Get Me Weed" below.
|
National Redwoods - Thomas H. Kuchel 7:00 Saddle Time - 332 Miles If you want to spend your day seeing the stunning Redwoods, ride straight to the Kuchel Visitor Center, enjoy the exhibits and presentations and use them to plan your viewing of the redwoods. You will be armed with the best knowledge to pick the groves and stands to enjoy (plus how to get there and find them)
|
National Redwoods - Skip the Visitor Centers 6:50 Saddle Time - 332 Miles If Visitor Centers aren't your thing, you can go straight to the Lady Bird Johnson Grove Trail, one of the most popular destinations in the National Redwoods complex. You have the chance to ride through many of the stunning groves on the way to the trail. The trail itself is the epitome of giant redwoods hiking. (you can decide how long you want to walk)
|
Show Me Shasta, Get Some Weed (trinkets) 7:15 Saddle Time - 361 Miles If you want to see Mt. Shasta, this is the long curvy way. It also takes you to Weed CA, where you can get all kinds of 420 themed nicknacks. This route includes some stunning motorcycle roads (OR227, OR66 Green Spring Hwy, scenic CA97, OR238). It does contain a bit of 4Lane to keep the time down. (You can skip all the curvy roads and it drops saddle time to 4:30, just saying)
|
Big Bad Coastal Loop 6:10 Saddle Time - 311 Miles Want to ride the stunning Oregon coast, do this route in either direction. It includes coastal towns of Bandon, Port Orford, Gold Beach and Brookings. They all are unique and gorgeous. It can even include a stop at the Hiouchi Redwoods Visitor Center and Redwood Grove along the way.
|
The Sisters and Lava Flows 8:40 Saddle Time - 457 Miles As always, beautiful scenery and awesome curves. But this trip throws in volcanoes (Sisters), desolate lava fields and some amazing lush forest twisties. Currently the route keeps you on Hwy 26 near the city of Sisters on the east side. If the snow is gone, and the road is open - switch to the amazing Hwy 242 at Belknap Springs. It starts lush and ends in desolate Black lava flows and rock fields including the Dee Wright Observatory.
|
Mountains, Coasts, Rivers & Curves 9:30 Saddle Time - 445 Miles Beautiful curvy Oregon mountain roads, leading to the stunning California Coastline including groves and stands of Redwoods. Then head back inland for a portion of CA Hwy 299 to Willow Creek. Hwy 96 North, a long, remote stretch of sweeping curves following the twisting Klamath River. Back over the mountain crest of the remote Grayback Rd curves. Finishing up with a run back to HQ. Long, inspiring ride that will leave you exhausted and smiling.
|
ULTIMATE Mountains, Coasts, Rivers & Curves 13:20 Saddle Time - 616 Miles Don't do this route, it's ridiculous. Same as above except... travel a little farther south to CA Hwy 36, one of the best motorcycling roads in California or anywhere. Then cut back north to Weaverville where you get to ride Hwy 299 west back to Willow Creek. From here it is the same as above. This ride is long and probably exhausting, but it is all beautiful and full of the best riding you will find.
