I dont know how you are planning to get here in the first place but.
if the weather has turned here when you are ready to leave you could
initiate Plan B and go to
Ashland Oregon and do spokes on a wheel touring from there. Ashland has
restaurants and there should be good theatre in the

Going to Ashland could be Plan A, in fact. I like Ashland. We'd
probably take the train to the start of the tour, but Ashland is easy
to get to from Klamath Falls.

There's no such thing as bad wether, just bad clothing. Grin. I can't
speak to the specifics of the Pacific NW in October, but this general
rule of getting quality clothing that works for every condition/activity
yields a lot of wonderful fruit -- seeing things and places at times others

I like camping in the rain. I find packing up and leaving in a
rainstorm depressing. Drizzle

Early October is arguably my favorite time of year here. The rains don't
usually set in for real until November, and while the nights can get chilly
the days frequently are beautiful. Alpine routes typically are wide-open,
and the mosquitoes and black flies are mostly dead. If you're
Yeah, that would be the no bad weather part of the equation. Grin.
With abandon,

there is another book with good route info published by Lonely Planet
Cycling USA: West Coast I've used data from both this book and the Tom
Kirkendall and Vicky Spring book.
I've only done the Northern California section, and had a great time.

+1 for Mike's Crater Lk/ Klamath Lk idea. I like the ocean/coast ok but for
some reason the inland route has more appeal to me. This Seattle to
Portland through the backdoor

interesting. Maybe some
Hey Manny, once you've nailed down dates and a route (the coast is pretty
straightforward), email me. I might be able to meet you out there for a
night depending where you end up staying on the OR coast. Really anywhere
between Astoria and Pacific City are reachable to me from Portland. I'd

Manny:
A week and a half is way too fast for Seattle to the Bay Area.
Depending on routing and whether or not you visit the San Juan
Islands, a week goes by quickly in Washington, and the Oregon coast is

days as well. This
Manny,
We have friends (http://carfreedays.com/) in the throes of a two-tandem
trip with their kids right now, riding from Seattle to San Francisco.
They're taking this route:

There are of course lots of other options, but from following
I can understand the allure of riding the coast to SF but really, if I were
you guys, I'd head to the Cascades from Seattle and ride down to Crater
Lake/Klammath Falls and then catch the train home. But you can always save
that for another trip.
I think if you're willing to put in long days
I used the book: Bicycling the Pacific Coast. Tom Kirkendall and Vicky
Spring are the authors. I'll look on my bookshelf and see if I can find
it. If I can find it you can have it. I've taken Amtrak to Seattle. The
Amtrak bike box was huge. Bars sideways and pedals off, roll it in! I
