• Fantastic. My bro lives in Vancouver, so we stopped off there, Seattle and Portland before starting the tour on the Oregon Coast (Tillamook), and then down to San Francisco. I don't have a recorded route (only upgraded computer tech to Garmin from Cateye this year!) but we pretty much exactly followed the ACA route (Hwy 101 and Hwy 1 with sensible bike route detours including the magnificent Avenue of the Giants). Pretty lucky with the weather; plenty of mist but barely any real rain whilst cycling. This was late August/early September.

    I know there's been all sorts of problems with landslides causing major road closures, so routes would need to be considered carefully, but it's very well served for reasonably comfortable cycle touring, with frequent small towns en route and hiker/biker campsites. Also reasonable variation in landscape, with the rugged Oregon coast before heading inland in California and going through the redwoods. You meet loads of cyclists along the way, many of whom have enviable amount of time on their hands and often going from Alaska to Mexico, if not even further.

    Some photos!
