Yep that’s the one!
Once when I was in great shape, I decided to ride back to pdx from Lincoln city after a family weekend trip.
I left at like 7am, but somehow the ride took me like 9 hours. The valley was 95 degrees and I was just roasting with no shade. I drank something like 13 bottles of water /electrolytes and I’ve never been so coated in salt.
Anyway, so I’m picturing that without being in great fitness and it sounds awful.

yeah I am no way in great fitness and even driving that route feels like it takes forever. is there even a route that doesn’t have you riding the shoulder of 6 and 26 the whole time? seems horrible
Quite a few better routes depending on how many hills you want to climb, but I think some hwy time is inevitable. I took hwy 18 with as many side roads as possibly, then country roads north of Newberg. I still ended up spending more time than I wanted on 99w coming back through sw pdx but I was prioritizing keeping my route flat and that made it roughly downhill for some time.
This was a pretty flat route also compared to just heading straight west.

That was my first thought, but ODI Long Necks would be more period correct. Sadly, black, blue, or red are the only color choices for those.
Fine, then orange esi chunky bois.
