Up ahead: Coastal Pedaling 101; 2021

For those who are curious, here is my planned route down the coast. I’ll start in Washington State, hit every spot worth seeing along the Oregon coast, and finish amid the California Redwoods.

These maps don’t necessarily capture the exact route I’ll be taking, but they do capture my intended overnights. I’m allowing myself flexibility, with 3 days off the bike to spend wherever I want or need to, so I won’t put any goals for dates for any one overnight. I’ll have the freedom to push on and have fun, and have the freedom to bail anytime, should I be halted by fires, smoke from fires, rain, broken gear, COVID, or other apocalyptic scenarios that are the norm these days. This adventure is not about the destination. It’s entirely about the journey. Wish me luck!
