Routes / Tire dipping near Astoria, Oregon

« on: November 14, 2021, 05:39:41 pm »

I'm looking to start a XC trip in Astoria, Oregon. I would like to do the traditional rear tire dipping but I know that Astoria is not on the Pacific Ocean. Anyone of ideas where I can do a tire dipping?

Thanks.

All great options listed above, plus:

• Wisconsin: 400 State Trail, La Crosse River Trail, Elroy-Sparta Rail Trail (Wisconsin Dells can be a great family destination of water parks)
• Ohio: Little Miami Scenic Trail (could visit the home of the Wright Brothers in Dayton - museum
• Massachusetts: An extensive trail system on Martha's Vineyard plus the Cape Cod Rail Trail and Shining Sea Bikeway

Greetings. The minimum number of riders that are required for a tour to go varies based on the tour type and the specific expenses for a tour. A general guideline would be 5 for a self contained tour, 7 for a van tour or Inn to Inn, and 22 for a fully supported tour. However, the Blue Ridge is a special one and need only 15. We are currently at 19 with only 6 spots remaining. This tour will GO and will sell out in the next few weeks. Sign up soon.
