Seattle to Grand Ronde: The Plan

After finding suckers to ride with, I began planning. I wanted to ride down the coast rather than inland, but didn't think we had time to go all the way around the Olympic Peninsula. So I decided to take a ferry from Seattle to Bremerton, cut across to the coast, then head south. I planned on doing anywhere from 35 to 85 miles per day.

Here is the planned itinerary. All page numbers are from Kirkendall & Spring, _Bicycling the Pacific Coast_, 2nd Edition, The Mountaineers, 1990.

29 June 1994 (Wednesday) approximately 35 miles: Take the ferry from Seattle to Bremerton (or perhaps Southworth. Haven't decided yet.) Ride to Potlatch State Park. (Map, pg. 59)
30 June 1994 (Thursday) 73 miles: Ride to Twin Harbors State Park (Route, pp. 63-68)
1 July 1994 (Friday) 85 miles: Ride to Fort Canby State Park (Route, pp. 68-75)
2 July 1994 (Saturday) 57 miles: Ride to Nehalem Bay State Park (Route, pp. 72-75, 96-102)
3 July 1994 (Sunday) 75 miles: Ride to Grand Ronde. (Route, pp. 102-109)
4 July 1994 (Monday) 0 miles: Party, Dude!
