About 11 or so years ago my son and I were driving down the Pacific Coast. We saw all these signs about there being a Pacific Coast bike route. It sounded pretty fun.
4 years went by and he was turning 16, I decided we better not put it off any longer. So knowing very little about touring he, his friend and I set off down the Oregon Coast. We had the time of our lifes, and have since done two more tours. The last being in 2006 and did the Canada to Calif ride. Once again it was pure magic.
