Oregon Coastal Loop
New in 2025, this tour returns after rave reviews from participants. Love Oregon but don’t have time for a longer tour? Looking to get into self-contained touring but still want to be around folks who have your back and help you hone your skills?
This tour is a great sampler of the Oregon Coast and Willamette Valley. We’ll spend a day riding through the Valley, from just outside Eugene to the vibrant college town of Corvallis. From there, we’ll head into the Coast Range, seeing evidence of many types of agriculture, which remains Oregon’s key industry.
You can’t cross a mountain range without some climbing, but our efforts will be rewarded with the views along the iconic Pacific Coast Bicycle Route. Then it’s time to climb again, back over the Coast Range to return to our start in the Willamette Valley.

Self Contained Reminder
Our Self Contained tours have the vehicle-free simplicity we all crave in a busy world without the hassle of vehicle logistics or hotel check-ins. Please make sure your bike can carry all your belongings (including tents, sleeping bags, and sleeping pads) plus a bit of group gear. Unsure about how to get started? That’s why our Tour Leaders are here!
Our Philosophy & What You Can Expect From Our Leaders
Adventure Cycling tours are not like other bike tours. We pride ourselves on being travelers not tourists. At our heart, we are a nonprofit committed to empowering and connecting people through the power of bicycle travel.
We believe that everyone joining our tours, including the leaders, are active participants who take joint ownership of group tasks like cooking, shopping, and maintaining group gear. This team mindset helps forge bonds that last for years (and tours) to come. Participants come for our routes but stay for our community.
We call the folks facilitating our tours leaders, not guides. Our leaders are not here to do everything for you; they are here to keep everyone on track and empower members of the group to step into ownership after they’ve adjusted to life on the road.
Our leaders commit to:
- Establishing a vision and setting expectations for how our tours run within our unique philosophy.
- Creating a safe, welcoming space for all walks of life
- Keeping your tour on track while remaining flexible, so group members can shape their own experience
- Pedaling alongside you — embracing the spirit and resilience of life on the bike
Your tour fees go directly towards covering the costs of your tour and supporting other programs our nonprofit puts forth into the world. The plus side to supporting us by coming on tour? You get to challenge yourself, have fun, and also do some good each and every time you ride with Adventure Cycling.
