Thank you for the link to a map. Printed it out. I'm still bit apprehensive about riding on the historic highway. The parts I drove makes me bit uneasy. Very pretty though.

From my house to stark street bridge is around one mile maybe two miles. Nice downhill going to the bridge but on the way back...

How about Mt Hood Hwy (US26) to Government Camp? Is that safe to ride?

Just fearful of getting clipped by a car.
