The music is quite loud and distracting/repetitive in all your videos. No music or at least quiet subtle music would have been much better. This video series is the best in displaying the OCBR. I'm giving this some thought about riding my recumbent trike down this route next summer. The Coos Bay Bridge, you could have walked across on the sidewalk. Also the 7 Devils route is worth doing for saying that you Did It. I have a friend that lives in Florence, and he has ridden the OCBR twice. He wrote a book about it. "The Oregon Coast Bike Route. Riding The Legend." By Steve Greene. Check it out.

We didn't. We left our car in Crescent City, CA and rented a Uhaul truck and drove to our start in Astoria. We left the truck at the start and rode back to our car.

Skipping the bridge was a good choice, that bridge kinda sucks but Skipping Seven Devils puts you off route and onto some kinda sketchy stretch of 101 leaving coos bay. Seven Devils is a great ride! Just for future info. Awesome video, enjoying your series!

Outstanding Adventure. That's the way to see the world. I've done it myself. That's how I know. Keep up the good work. Influence people to do the same thing. I'm planning a pcbr trip myself right now starting the beginning or the first week of October. They say it will rain in Washington. I guess that's kind of like saying the sun rises in the east. I'm in South Florida. If the approaching hurricane bypasses this area at least I will be able to get it off the ground. At my age, I might be biting off more than I can chew. I will just have to wait and see. Your journey is great and healthy. All that fresh air right off the ocean. All that good exercise. Up and down the Hills. Good work.

We rented a one-way uhaul van/truck, put our bikes in the back, left our car in the uhaul parking lot (they let us park behind the gates so it was secure for the week), and drove the uhaul with our bikes up to astoria. Some people fly into portland with their bikes, assemble the bikes, ride to astoria and down the coast, and then rent a uhaul to get back to the airport.

We rode our Salsa Marrakesh bikes that are really more touring than gravel, they're the same bikes we did the Oregon Cost with, but used MTB Nano gravel tires (40c) for this ride. I've since done a section of the Idaho Hotsprings Route on the same bike and used a Schwalbe Mondial (I think that was a 47c) that I preferred over the WTB.

Yeah, good call out. This was our first touring trip and we went into it as a precursor to a planned trip down the Oregon Coast. So yeah, we had more than we needed for an overnight trip. We've since acquired some lighter gear and found things we don't need. It's all a balance between comfort and weight, which is a game I think we all constantly play.
