Running over and up to the pacific northwest in about a week. Any advice on what shouldn't be missed there?

We're up for advice on bars, restaurants, good spots to visit, and shortish, city-based rides that wont kill us when we're hung over.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Well, a little out of town, but the Columbia Gorge ain't bad:

Portland has boatloads of brewpubs and in-town riding. Not saying that you should mix the two, though...
