You don’t need to do all 10 days, there’s shorter options.

(Originally, it was a goal for me in 2025, but we’re moving to Cleveland next year, and I think 2026 is more likely.)

I have heard favorable reviews of this ride (route changes yearly):

I did it 5 years in a row in my younger days. Route changes every year. Used to be 3000 riders, I think it is more like 1000 now.

Lots of different terrain, some years lots of climbing, other years, riding through rolling hills of eastern OR or down the coast.
