Can we talk? You can phone me at 541-459-2574.

And, yes, I ride a new Stratus XP, and have about 35,000 on my old Stratus, which I still have. And still ride. And love.

I would suggest that you think seriously about starting your ride after Labor Day (First Monday in September)  The weather is as good as it gets on the coast, and the traffic is much lighter after school starts. Traffic is manageable in May, but as you get into June in California.....not so much. Winds in September and October will surely be tailwinds when riding north to south. In the summer, you may well have headwinds.

There are plenty of motels, but as mentioned previously, they are not cheap, especially if you go in the summer months. Camping will put you in contact with a lot more cyclists, which is nice. That being said, I'm old enough to appreciate (and to choose to pay for) a room each night.

Great ride, where ever and whenever you start. But it is more scenic in Oregon and California than what you'll see on the Washington coast. In my opinion.
