The Oregon Coast Visitors Association website is now a central hub for all things biking on the coast!
For the past few years, we’ve been actively involved in supporting the creation of three coastal mountain bike trail systems (Klootchy Creek in Seaside, Big Creek in Newport, and Whiskey Run in Coos County), and have sponsored mountain biking events like Ride the Dirt Wave and Mountain Bike Oregon, as a way to elevate mountain biking as a coastal experience for visitors and locals.
This year, we have also partnered with Dirty Freehub to scout and map coastal gravel routes, which can be ridden as day trips or as pieces of longer bike-packing trips. Each route has been vetted and thoroughly written up, so riders can know exactly what to expect as far as road conditions, safety, refuel stops, and the cultural and natural points of interest that make each ride unique.
Why Cycling?
Cycling is an active and car-free way to experience the coast, and there are endless ways to enjoy it. Families can rent fat bikes for an afternoon on the beach, and adventurous riders can haul their bike-packing gear and head off into the mountains for days on end.
