Weather Station DataPrecipitation bar graphs are plotted above for a set of weather stations across Oregon. There is one bar for each month, and the height of each bar is proportional to the total average precipitation during that month. The shading of the bars reflects the precipitation totals. The individual bar graphs can be read for the details of precipitation at individual stations, while the overall shape and color of the graphs illustrate the main precipitation gradients across the state.

The Oregon Coast Bike Route has been a popular bicycle route since 1982 when it was officially designated by the Oregon Transportation
Commission. Thousands of bicyclists enjoy the natural beauty of the Oregon Coast Bike Route annually. For the most part, it follows US Highway 101 as a shoulder bikeway. In several areas, the route departs from the main highway and follows county roads and city streets. These sections are closer to the ocean, are more scenic, and have lower traffic volumes and slower traffic speeds.
The total length of the signed bike route is 370 miles (595 km). It can be lengthened to 380 miles (610 km) by taking the alternate Three Capes Scenic Route. On average, most cyclists take six to eight days to tour the coast, by cycling 50 to 65 miles (80 to 105 km) per day. This is a reasonable rate, due to the mountainous nature of the coast: the total rise and fall is close to 16,000 feet (4900 m).
It is highly recommended that you cycle in a north to south direction, if your trip is planned between May and October, as the prevailing winds blow from the northwest. Most points of interest and viewpoints are on the ocean side. General shoulder widths are indicated as shown on the map legend.
Be sure to visit www.RideOregonRide.com for more information on where to ride, stay and eat on your trip. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Pedestrian and Bicycle Program web site: http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/BIKEPED/touring.shtml also has additional information and resources to enhance your experience.

Welcome to Oregon and Enjoy the Ride!
BIKE ROUTE SIGNING
The entire route has been signed. The sign (at right) is located at all intersections where the bike
route departs from the main highway, and at key locations along bypasses to guide cyclists through these areas. “BIKES ON ROADWAY” warning signs have been placed along some stretches of roadway where the shoulder is narrow; motorists are therefore forewarned of the possible presence of bicyclists.

OVERVIEW MAP (see reverse for detail maps)
CLIMATEOregon Coast summers tend to be cool and morning fog is common.
Rain tapers off in April reaching a low in July, picking up again in October. Regular, steady rain can be expected November thru March Winds in summer are predominantly from the NW and it is advisable to ride North to South to maximize tail winds. During the main summer bicycling season, temperatures rarely exceed the eighties, and can even be as cool as the mid-fifties. Winter storms can be severe with gale force winds and driving rain. We recommend you carry rain gear year round.
The best cycling experiences are usually from late August to early October, as the combination of moderate temperatures, north winds, low precipitation and reduced highway traffic creates nearly ideal conditions.
For up-to-date long-term weather forecasts, roadway conditions, and construction advisories , consult Trip Check: call 511 (toll free within Oregon) or 1-800-977-ODOT (6368) (toll free within Oregon) or 1-503-588-2941 (outside Oregon.) Or visit: www.tripcheck.com/
TRAFFIC VOLUME AND PROFILED ROUTES
Motor vehicle (and bicycle) traffic volumes vary greatly and generally are greater on state highways than on local roads. On the Coast they are highest in summer and in and around towns and cities. Traffic
volumes drop off significantly in winter. The map below shows average traffic volumes as a guide.

TIPS FOR A SAFE RIDE
Please: ride carefully, be courteous to other roadway users, and follow the rules of the road.
In Oregon, bicyclists are required to follow the same rules as motorists insofar as they apply; ride with the normal traffic flow, as far to the right side of the roadway as is safe and prudent. Bicyclists may ride two abreast, but should only do so when it is safe and will not impede motor vehicle traffic.
When riding after dark, the bicycle or its rider must be equipped with a white light visible at least 500 feet to the front and a red light or reflector visible at least 600 feet to the rear, per Oregon law.
In addition to the above rules, we offer these suggestions:
• Wear reflectorized clothing. • Don’t ride in heavy fog. (In summer and fall, the fog usually lifts by
late morning.) • Wear a helmet. • Stop off the roadway. • Beware of strong wind gust on bridges: either ride on the roadway,
or walk on the sidewalk. • The two tunnels on the route and the Yaquina (Newport) and
McCullough (Coos Bay) bridges have “Bicycles in Tunnel” (or bridge) warning lights installed for your use; they can be activated by pushing a button at the entrance to the tunnel or bridge.
Comments or suggestions are appreciated, please contact:

As you make your way down the scenic Oregon Coast Bike Route, take the time to get off of the highway and visit some of the wonderful
sites that await the adventurous traveler.
DETAILS
These descriptions are designed to guide you through areas where the Oregon Coast Bike Route departs from US Highway 101, as well as
to prepare you for what to expect in the way of roadway conditions and attractions. All of these route segments are well signed with the OREGON COAST BIKE ROUTE sign. In general, these facilities are narrower, but have less (and slower) traffic than Highway 101 and/or avoid a narrow, shoulderless section of Hwy 101.
LODGING
The Oregon Coast has many accommodations for traveling cyclist. Campgrounds, hotels or bed & breakfasts are abundant. Reservations
are highly recommended in the summer months.
Many State Parks’ campgrounds are equipped with “Hiker-Biker” sites. They provide a place to set up a tent away from the conventional campsites, yet are still close to showers and rest room facilities. State parks also offer as well as yurts, cabins and teepees in some locations.
NOTE: Campgrounds may display a “Campground Full” sign when the conventional sites are all occupied; please inquire with the attendant as to availability of Hiker-Biker sites.

B - CANNON BEACHThis coastal community offers many coffee shops, bakeries and art galleries. Watch for splendid views of Haystack Rock.
C - THREE CAPES SCENIC ROUTE AND SANDLAKE ROADIn Tillamook, you may continue south on the highway, or follow the Three Capes Scenic Route. This route follows Tillamook Bay to Cape Meares and Cape Lookout. The road is very steep, with elevations as high as 840 feet. Some sections are gravel. The vistas are spectacular, as the road closely follows the edge of a cliff in many areas. This alternate is 10 miles longer than the main route. Sandlake road takes you to the third of the capes, Cape Kiwanda, with gentler grades.
D - SLAB CREEK ROADThis route follows an old highway through some beautiful old-growth forests and farm land. The total elevation rise is the same as that on US Highway 101, but over a greater distance, which provides gentler grades and a more pleasant ride.
E - OTTER CREST LOOPThis route brings you closer to the ocean, as the old highway winds its way up and down Cape Foulweather, along precipitous cliffs.
F - NEWPORT BYPASSTraffic through Newport is often congested. This bypass takes you along quieter residential streets, to Agate Beach Wayside and Yaquina Bay Park.
G - WINCHESTER BAYSalmon Harbor is an active fishing village. This route offers a view of the Umpqua River estuary, as well as the historic Umpqua Lighthouse. You might want to visit the Coastal Visitor Center next to it.
H - NORTH BEND BYPASSCommercial and truck traffic is heavy on US Highway 101 through North Bend and Coos Bay. This bypass avoids this traffic and routes bicyclists along the Cape Arago Highway.
I - SEVEN DEVILS RD/WEST BEAVER HILL RD.This route, near South Slough, takes you up over hilly terrain and back to US Highway 101. A dead-end spur leads to the end of Cape Arago. The Shore Acres Botanical Gardens are situated along this spur. The initial grades up Seven Devils Road are steep, but provide excellent views of the South Slough National Estuarine Sanctuary.
J - BANDON BYPASSThis route avoids busy traffic, and takes you through historic Old Town. Beach Loop Road follows the shoreline with some spectacular views of ocean rock formation.
K - GOLD BEACHThe Old Coast Road lies between Gold Beach and Otter Point State Recreation Site. It is the site of the Miner’s Fort occupied by local residents during the Indian wars of the 1850’s. The Wedderburn loop section provides opportunities to access the beach, the north jetty and the bank of the Rogue River, the Rogue River Bar and Rogue River Reef.
L - BROOKINGSLower Harbor Road provides access to the busy Port of Brookings harbor. One of the most popular beach access points in this area is at Sporthaven Park. Oceanview Drive provides up close views of Easter Lily agricultural production. This area is known as the Easter Lily Capital of the World.
