I thought it would be a great idea to show those who visit the North Coast UMCI Blog of just what its like to ride with the North Coast UMCI Members. I have included random pictures of the great area we have to ride in.
This is a familiar stop for us along Hwy 101 overlook near Cannon Beach.
Same location looking North towards Cannon Beach.
