Start/end in Woodside behind the Pioneer Hotel (porta potty available). We take the short way to the Bike Hut: up Kings Mountain down Tunitas Creek. After a refresh at the Bike Hut, those inclined can challenge themselves on the ascent up Tunitas Creek on the Bike Hut Classic (a fundraiser for Abundant Grace homeless workers/ACTC is a sponsor), while others can take a more relaxing approach.
After catching our breath, ignoring our aching legs, and regrouping at the top, we take on Native Sons and Star Hill/Swett then head across Skyline to OLH with an optional stop at the store at the intersection with Hwy84.
Ride at your pace with regroups at summits and Skyline & 84.

Not a regular ACTC ride, this is an ACTC Touring Academy training ride. Although we meet @ 9:30am but the ride will start only after the Academy students’ panniers pass safety check. This ride is a good introduction to anyone interested in bikepacking and bicycle touring. For example, is there a need to purchase a new fancy gravel or touring bicycle? Absolutely not, I will be touring on a 40 years old mountain bike. Optional lunch at the many Vietnamese, Chinese, and Mexican restaurants at the end of the ride. Many restaurants have outdoor seating. No-one left behind. Meet at Walmart Supercenter, 777 Story Rd, San Jose.

More verdant than Dry Creek, but similar in profile, you'll descend to the lowest flanks of northern Mt. Olympus along the mighty Elwha, to do one stiff climb in the rural outskirts south of Port Angeles, then revisit the Olympic Discovery Trail eastbound along the shores of the Fuca Strait, to the lavender meadows of Sequim, then turn south to overnight below Mt.

See Stage 1. Mileage appears short, but motorist traffic can be long in this heavily touristed summer holiday locale. You'll explore the docks of Astoria before crossing the estuarine plateau towards Fort Stevens, to follow the magnificent Oregon Coast and bits of the Lewis and Clark Trail, to hike the forested, windswept cliffs south of Seaside to enter the magical woodlands of Ecola SP. Mind the single, tan-barked track and terrific, and often terrifying, ocean views!
