The Coast Range Gravel Adventure is a 4 day bikepacking tour from Corvallis to the Coast and back taking mostly old logging roads. We follow the C2C trail to the coast, and return via the Yachats, Five Rivers, and Alsea valleys.
Club members have been riding various road routes to the coast for years, but a route that avoids long stretches of highway has always been elusive. Then in 2016 the C2C Trail was completed from Corvallis to Big Elk Campground. This made the route much easier and the excellent signage they put in allowed us to ride these old logging roads without getting lost. So in October 2018 we ran the first annual CRGA and it was a big success.
MVBC Tours are for MVBC members. You must be a member to register, but anyone can join the club.
