Corvallis IMO has probably the most riding options of the places you mentioned above. Yes, further from Portland area riding but closer to the coast, Alsea Falls, Oakridge, and the Mac Dunn and Marys Peak are in your backyard…….

Corvallis is a great area to ride, any type of riding pretty muck right outside your door. If you want a flat ride head out on to the valley floor. Climbing? Head up into the coast range and climb Mary’s Peak, Alsea Falls etc… head North or South for rolling terrain like Decker loop, Lewisburg Saddle, or Kings Valley. As mentioned lots of good mtb’ing as well.
Only 45 minutes to the coast, 90 miles to Pdx, maybe 30 miles to Salem, and Eugene isn’t too far away either.
Hard to beat for variety of quality riding.
