Just be aware..Or 30 gets a lot of swift traffic of all types. Summer season is Fridays west and Sundays east. It has good shoulders...filled with junk occasionally due to highway debris (gravel, woody debris typical). The straight stretches west of Cathlamet tend to prompt passing...be aware of cars and trucks coming east at high speed while passing slower east bound traffic. I'd have my niterider 650 on full blinky.

also..one of my complaints to WashDOT is that centerline and fog line stripe positioning is critical to providing cyclists with a consistent shoulder lane..this is particularly critical on blind curves. Unfortunately...this arguement has to be made from all uses (ped, highway safety, etc) because legally...WashDot can't "create" a substandard bike "lane".

(For you take the laners...go ahead and take the lane on a tight right hand sweeper where a log truck can roll through it at 55-60 and the time between him and you is measured in what...3-8 seconds?)
