Enjoy a Good Deal of Oregon Coast Gravel this coming May
Come to the Oregon coast for a long weekend and ride around the Siuslaw National Forest on some of quietest roads ever, since 2013.
Sometimes you need to unplug, ride and rejuvenate!
That’s easy to do in Yachats and Waldport, little coastal towns on Oregon’s Central Coast where you might look up from your crab cakes to admire a bald eagle wheeling overhead or a grey whale spouting beyond the Pacific surf.
With innovative restaurants and shops and the ocean and forest roads as your playground, it’s a breeze to fill two or more days riding some of the most underrated gravel roads in North America.
Enjoy a Spring long weekend of gravel goodness with two back-to-back gravel rides at the Oregon Coast Gravel Epic on Saturday May 3rd and West Coast Gravel on Sunday May 4th 2025, part of the renowned 2025 Oregon Triple Crown series.
Both rides showcase the raw beauty of ancient Siuslaw National Forests and some of its seriously fun hills.
It has some of quietest roads that cyclists will ever encounter – a well-kept secret, a cyclist’s paradise.
The events are produced in cooperation with both communities of Waldport and Yachats, with the support of The Peoples Coast that will highlight the natural beauty of rural Oregon coastal communities.
There are plenty of excellent hotels, Vrbo's, and camping options to stay in Waldport and 9 miles south in Yachats for any level of comfort.
The Oregon Coast Gravel Epic on the Saturday, consists mostly logging roads and some pavement left over from decades of active logging that still exists to this day with two routes to suit all abilities.
The 60 mile Abomination route more than lives up to its name with 6,600 feet of climbing. The shorter Son of Abomination is 37 miles and still physically demanding with 3,740 feet of climbing -- just as amazing without quite as many hills! There are three aid stations out on course, 3 for the Abomination and 2 for the Son.
The challenge is geared towards the enthusiast cyclist looking for a well-marked and supported event. A good day of gravel riding with friends amid an enchanting forest is in store on the Oregon Coast!
