 Rugged Oregon Coast Sustainability Tour
Rugged Oregon Coast Sustainability Tour
Oregon's world-renowned Coastal Scenic Bike Route follows legendary Route 101's twists and turns along the rustic bluffs of the Oregon Coast.
Along the way, we will visit organic farms, a land trust, a visionary community school, camp along the ocean, and more!
Activities:
Work and sleep under the stars at an organic farm and be inspired by its visionary owner.
Get your hands dirty working side-by-side with stakeholders at a coastal land trust.
Work with an incredibly hardworking staff at CARE, a Tillamook food bank, helping with community gardens; learn about the hunger problems that hurt small coastal towns.
Have the opportunity to go sea kayaking!
Visit the Sitka Center for Arts and Ecology, a unique refuge that bridges art, nature, and humanity in an inspirational, beautiful setting.
Stay at a community school in a former dairy barn that will redefine your notion of schooling and education.
Hike coastal trails, viewing some of the most spectacular coastline in the world.
Please note: The reality of host logistics makes it impossible to absolutely confirm an itinerary. The above are planned events but are subject to change as necessary.
Route & Mileage:
Shuttle riders to the coast, where we will ride south along the coast to Neskowin. From here, we will head east through the Coast Range and into the Willamette Valley before heading north to Portland. Shorter rides along the route will allow us to meet with hosts. The first few days will be low mileage (10-30 miles/day), with some non-biking days and shorter ride days between host locations. Mileage on the trips will increase, with the final days averaging ~50 miles per day. Total mileage ~210 miles.
