I lied. I rode south towards Marys Peak instead of into the forest as I promised earlier. Bagged my first pass. Summit of Coast range on hwy 20 near Marys Peak turnoff. This summit is at the end of a 4 mile climb on a twisty highway filled with steehead fisherman on their way to the Alsea River.
I decided to head up Marys Peak until the road ran out. In the summer this is a great 9 mile 3000 ft climb. The signage promises 5.5 miles of open road, I went for it. 3 miles later the road turned into a double track, I turned back.
A great day out. Sanity returns.
