Go to pnwriders.com and ride44.com for info on good routes as well as current conditions. If your coming down the coast on hwy 101, hwy 34 east from Waldport Oregon is killer, and then you can ride up Mary's peak road. Would be about an hour, two hours out of your way depending on how hard an fast you ride.

So you want to meet Nate alone????? I have and it was weird. Just messing with you.

If I was still going to be around I would jump on this like a single mom on a pole, but I will be there in spirit. (Thats sounds retarted but I ain't changing it).

Looks like a lot of fun. You have some really long days at 500+ miles. I have done ~250 on a long ride day (backroads) so I can only imagine what roughly double that would be.

Have you worked out how you will ship your bikes back? I have shipped cars but not bikes. Do you have to have them crated?
