Hi
I’m flying in and out of either Portland or Seattle between 31 August and 10 September and I’m looking for a road bike route, with an emphasis on great scenery (mountains especially) and (secondarily) cool towns.
I’ve got a few routes in mind:
* Seattle to Portland or vice-versa via mount rainier (this route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/4573907)
* Vancouver to Seattle or vice-versa via San Juan islands
* The Oregon coast (either all or part of it)
* A different part of Oregon (particularly Crater Lake?)
* Glacier national park and surroundings
Or some combination of some of the above. Happy (in fact keen) to take the train to/from any places (e.g. Glacier NP) to maximise my time in the more impressive areas, or to make it a point to point trip rather than a circuit (e.g. train to Vancouver from Portland then cycle back).
Which do you recommend, bearing in mind my preferences? I’d class myself as an fit, averagely strong cyclist.
