Cycle Wild is leading our annual trip to the beach, on Labor Day Weekend! That's right, we're going to meet at the end of the MAX in Hillsboro and ride 71 miles to Cape Lookout State Park, home to the best hiker/biker camp in the whole state park system. Plenty of room, fully separated from the rest of the camping areas, quiet, within sight of the ocean, and shaded amongst the trees. Come join us!
Prior trips have had about 10-15 campers, and we play at the beach, go hiking, sit around the campfire and roast smores, hot dogs (or veggie dogs), and have a few drinks with friends. (yes, state parks permit alcohol)
We will be stopping at Safeway in Tillamook to buy our food, so there's no need to haul your food 71 miles unless you have very specific dietary needs.
We are riding out Saturday, staying at the beach all day Sunday, and returning on Monday (Labor Day).
Just the Facts:
Who: Cycle Wild
What: Bike Camping
Where: Cape Lookout State Park, 12 miles SW of Tillamook
When: September 5-7, 2009. Meet at Hatfield Government Center MAX Station (Hillsboro) at 7:45am, we ride at 8am.
How Far: 71 miles one-way
How Much: $10 ($8 to State Parks for 2 nights in the hiker/biker camp, $2 to chip in for firewood) - Cycle Wild charges nothing for our trips, you are responsible for paying your own park fees, chipping in with others on anything communal (like firewood), and taking care of your own food.
