Lewis and Clark "Mainline" versus road - TA
« on: August 28, 2024, 03:56:16 pm »
Riding up from Cannon Beach to drop our bikes off for shipping in Astoria, tomorrow, and wondered why the TA avoids the paved bike trail labeled Lewis & Clark Mainline (looking at RWGPS with the Streets background layer).   Looking at google streets view, I see barriers set to stop cars and signs warning about no motorized vehicles, but it looks ok for bikes.   Turning on heat maps, more people bike on the road than the trail, but some ride the trail.

Not sure if anyone had more intel or not.  Not very important, but I am inclined to try the trail.

Mainline is largely inaccessible and rough gravel, so NOT a good idea
