Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway

Wow! The 3 Capes route looks really pretty. It also looks like it would be alot of fun. What we were hoping to do with the WVSB was turn it into a riding/camping adventure. We'd be travelling very light (what you can carry on your back) and probably going fairly slow and steady. It sorta seems like its not really set up for camping along the way though. Either you can ride sections and stay in motels, or you can try to make it a one day trip, yikes! The coast route looks like it lends itself better to being a camping trip.

I grew up in Salem area and in my opinion there is too much traffic for a bike tour! But then again, I'm spoiled by the very light traffic in our beautiful NE Oregon. I've cycled all over Baker Valley, Grand Ronde Valley and into some of the mountain passes. One ride I would love to do is our very own Elkhorn Scenic Biway. I've driven it but never ridden it.
Also, central Oregon would be a great choice because you can find light-traffic roads and ride through beautiful country land with great vistas of the Cascade range. And the sun shines more over on this side of the Cascades!
Have fun on your ride.
