We've done Cycle Oregon 3 times - 04, 07 and 10 and the last two on a Tandem. It's an incredibly well organized group but the ride this year just didn't do it for us even though it has around 120 miles and 10k less feet of climbing then it did in 07 and 10. Hopefully you signed up for the tent and porter service - makes it so much more enjoyable not having to pack up a tent in the morning when it's cold and sometimes wet.
We've also done the NWTR several times - although everyone has been in Oregon. We did it last year and had a blast despite the rain. Nothing like 300-400 other tandems/triplets/quads out on the roads together. We are talking about doing this year in WA since we've never been.
