Oregon Coast Gravel Epic & WCG 4/30-5/1

Anyone here heading out to Waldport and Yachats OR for some coastal gravel riding at the end of April?

I haven't ridden much in the coastal range before so it'll be fun. Any advice on either of these would be welcomed.
If anyone else is heading down LMK... Staying at the KOA in Waldport for the weekend which will be our first camping trip of the year as well.

I did the Oregon Coast Gravel Epic in 2019. Mike puts on a great race. Beautiful trails and roads, stocked aid stations, challenging route. I rode my rigid, geared 29er with 2.1" tires. The tires were definitely overkill. But I used the whole 11-42 cassette - there were some really steep, long climbs!

I'd love to do it again but 2022 is not the year. Enjoy!
