I’m Riding My Bicycle From Portland to San Francisco!
Going crazy for my new touring bike, haven't packed those panniers yet!
We’re actually starting in Astoria, Oregon, which is a hair north of Portland but on the coast. Here’s a map:
Here’s a rough itinerary with daily mileage, I think it’s changed a bit but you get the idea:
Day 1: Astoria to Manzanita (37.8)
Day 2: Manzanita to Netarts (40.1) via cheese and the capes
Day 3: Netarts to Lincoln City (48)
Day 4: Lincoln City to Yachats (49.9)
Day 5: Yachats to Reedsport (48.8)
Day 6: Reedsport to Bandon (54.8)
Day 7: Bandon to Gold Beach (57.5)
Day 8: Gold Beach to Cresent City (55.8)
Day 9: Cresent City to Orick (39)
Day 10: Orick to Eureka (46)
Day 11: Eureka to Redcrest (41.8)
Day 12: Redcrest to Leggett (55.8)
Day 13: Leggett to Fort Bragg (43.4)
Day 14: Fort Bragg to Point Arena (44.4)
Day 15: Point Arena to Jenner (51.6)
Day 17: Jenner to Point Reyes Station (42.5)
Day 18: Point Reyes Station to Golden Gate Bridge (35)
I think it may take up to 21 days with rest days and technical problems. I’ll try to send updates via my cell phone. I’m very stoked and very nervous. We’ll see how it goes!
