Most riders have a love-hate relationship with the Oregon Coast: It’s fantastically beautiful, but riding Highway 101 is often not fun.

Do we know the cost to register? When I tried to check it just says registation not open yet.
Is this Cruzbike teaming up with an already established tour in hope of getting a bunch of Cruzbike togther? It looks like it's not recumbent focused and something I can recomend to others as well.

I believe it's $2000 reg fee plus other incidentals, like tents, etc.

Oooof that's well outside me and Mom's price range for some road riding. Thanks for the heads up

This is June 20-27,2-26
Yes - sadly the cost puts it out of my price range too

I got signed up. I had to miss RAGBRAI last year in my back yard but, luckily, this one is right near my son’s family in Independence. I hope we have a crowd.

Just remember for all the climbs up to the other side - once at the top - those miles are free.

I'm familiar with some parts of the route around Corvallis and the climb up to Alsea Falls from Alpine is one tough son of a gun.
I tried it once on a LWB bent I had at the time, towing a BOB trailer. I had to get off and walk because I was loosing steering control due to the front end getting too light.
Another time I was on my Vendetta and at the steepest section I was raised out of my seat and sawing on the bars so much that I was weaving all over the road. I also had to walk it then.
I'll be interested to see how I handle it this time on the S40.
I found a description of the route online that claims that the pitch isn't over 10% even though RWGPS says it maxes out at 17%.
I tend to believe RWGPS but maybe that says more about my climbing skills, or lack thereof.
The ride through Lobster Valley after coming down from Alsea Falls is really nice.

I have been on that same road. It is a bear. But the payoff for the climbs are SUMBLIME downhills and long sections of river grade cruising. Oh yes - this is my favorite type of terrain even if there are brief sections that are just a hai bit much to climb. When I can walk faster than I can ride what does it matter anyway I still get to the top.

I remember some crazy wheelslip when i had my s40 out that way, reinforcing my utter distaste for that level of climb. But there were a few awesome days of rolley polely that were so fun and so fast.
