I thru biked the Colorado Trail a few years ago, but live in Oregon now and there are some long trails here! I wanted to get an initial gauge how many days it would take me to ride the Oregon Timber Trail for finding the time off to do it. When looking a bikepacking.com there is a large difference between the two routes in the recommended days when comparing the altitude and mileage differences.
For Colorado I planned for about 6K of climbing a day, to set a pace for an enjoyable Colorado Trail trip, that was 13 days of riding, how many days should I expect for the Timber Trail? Or are they different and not really comparable since the altitude changes don't line up? How did you pace it?
