A couple of years ago, someone advised me that Oregon is a nice place to ride bikes. At the time, Felkerino and I were both taken with the mountains of Colorado, and that’s where we took our bike.

Not this year. This year we take on the ups and downs of the Sierra Cascades, launching from Sacramento, California on July 3.

July 1-2 we will be in Sacramento.

July 3, we roll out to Tahoe and parts beyond.

We gradually make our way along the Adventure Cycling Sierra Cascades route. After 10 days spent following the Sierra Cascades route, we diverge in Detroit, Oregon, and head to Portland.

July 14, the plan is to arrive in Portland. We’ll spend the 15th slurping coffee and packing the bike. On July 16, poof, we’re gone.

This post is a longish way of saying we would love to rendezvous with bike/coffeeneuring/errandonnee/rando friends in the areas we’ll be passing through.

If you have time, you could even pedal a few miles with us. We love company!

So let me know, either in the comments, by email, or through the Contact form. See you soon, West Coast buddies!
