3 Bridges ride: Motorcycle the Kelso to Portland Loop

This hundred-mile loop is perfect for an afternoon on the motorcycle. You will cross over three magnificent bridges on this motorcycle ride. Actually, there are several other minor bridges too. This loop takes the motorcyclist from Portland, Oregon, up one side of the Columbia River, and then back down the other. This route winds through the neighborhoods of NW Portland, across the St. Johns Bridge, and through the towns of Linnton, Scappoose, and St Helens on the Columbia River Highway (Oregon SR 30). Cross over into Washington on the Lewis and Clark Bridge into Kelso and Longview. The run down Interstate 5 zips you by a fantastic coffee shop (just off I-5) called Lava Java; towards Vancouver, across the Interstate 5 Bridge (a working drawbridge), and back into Portland. An urban pacific northwest motorcycle ride, total riding time is about two hours plus stops.
