Route

Day 2: Sunday, August 3 – The Big Bridge

(Mileage options: 12/40/64)

Today offers a rare treat: a chance to ride safely across the Astoria-Megler Bridge, 4.1 miles long with the longest continuous truss in the world as its main span. Once you cross into Washington, you’ll follow the Columbia River to the town of Chinook for lunch, and then re-trace your route back. A longer route option heads to the Long Beach Peninsula and loops through Cape Disappointment State Park. There’s also a short “historical” route in and around Fort Stevens State Park featuring the Peter Iredale wreck and war batteries.
