Has anyone been on a tour with Cycle America before? If you have, or know someone who has, what did you/they think?
I'm specifically interested in their Pacific Coast combo, 3 weeks from Anacortes to San Francisco. Anyone done this route, with or without this company?

I don't have any experience with Cycle America, but I have ridden part of that route. I rode from Bellingham, WA south to Crescent City, CA on my (self-supported) Washington & Oregon Coast tour back in 1999. The Oregon coast is an absolutely awesome place to ride. It's beautiful, and the coast road has a side benefit of having wide shoulders on the ocean side. I was heading north to south, so that made me very happy. The prevailing wind direction is to the south too - there was one day when I was absolutely flying down the rode (and I'm not a fast rider!), propelled by the wind. I stopped to watch some folks in the water, and I could barely stand up. If I had been heading northbound I have a sneaking suspicion I would have been sitting on the side of the road wondering whether to laugh or cry!Quote:
