    Yep. Found that road just on accident one day dinking around way out in the sticks. There weren't too many cyclists that day but, having used to ride hundreds of miles a week way back in my youth, I'm not surprised there are.

    I live at the bottom of Germantown rd and man is it fun. 2minute to skyline rd and 2 minute to Cornelious pass.

    Logie trail is torn up and dangerous.
    There is highway 103 to Jewell OR from 26 that has alot of tight turns and is very long then hwy 202 to Astoria, that one is very long and a blast.
    I have also enjoyed the hwy 26 banks timber rd to vernonia hwy 47 run.

    Highway 101 between Lincoln City and Tillamook. Absolutely beautiful drive to take in the summer time. It's quite a journey (almost 40 miles!) but the road is nice, has some twisty sections, some straight sections, but the scenery is the big wow factor.

    Plus, you can get amazing ice cream in Tillamook at the cheese factory

    SR 4 in Washington from Longview to Ilwaco and Long Beach is pretty nice, it hugs the north shore of the Columbia for a good portion of the drive.

    Popular with motorbikers. 12 miles . Not recommended in bad weather. Very fun.

    +2 drove this stretch 2 days after I took delivery of my MkV Gti even with stock suspension it was tons of fun. I must make it back now that my car has a better suspansion and more power.

    Funny I grew up right off Germantown close to the bottom on Harbor blvd. Another awesome road in nw portland is McNamee is in Burlington just before Cornelius Pass runs from 30 up to Skyline. Took my wifes old 98 neon R/T up it with some new 17s with 35s on it was a freakin blast! Amazing amount of hard corners!
