Cycling The Oregon Coast Would Be A Great Trip

Oregon is a great place to be if you enjoy cycling. In fact, I've read about how Portland is a big bike culture place. And before visiting there, I always wondered how that was possible since that region of the United States is known for getting massive amounts of rain. Of course, I later learned that other areas of the country get more rain per year than this region, but it was still a thought that I used to have about the area.

So anyways, when I first made it to Oregon, I did see a lot of people out on their bikes. It was also the first time that I saw people wearing some cool unique cycling jerseys. Before that, I was just used to seeing people wearing the standard solid color biking jerseys or the ones that are bright yellow for the Livestrong charity that Lance Armstrong was associated with. But apparently there are all sorts of really cool and fun cycling jerseys out there because the people I saw riding bikes in Portland were wearing all different types of them.

After spending a little time in Portland and other areas of Oregon, I couldn't help but think that it would be cool to take a cycling vacation in the state. There is a lot of great scenery there, but I think that my first choice would be to do a little cycling trips along the Oregon Coast because I love beaches, but I also love mountains and there seems to be a great combo of that along the coast there. Plus, it would give me a chance to revisit some of those location where they filmed my favorite movie, The Goonies!

Since I do not have the funds to take that cool cycling trip right now, I did a little searching online. It seems that this cycling route is one that is quite popular with people who like to bike long distances and who like to bike on their vacations. To give you an idea of how awesome this scenery is and what a great ride this would be, check out the video that I found of someone else's cycling trip down the Oregon coast line. It is available for viewing below.


Looks pretty great, eh? I also found a bike trail map that the state government offers. Find it here.
