Our journey begins heading north out of Santa Cruz following the Sierra Cascade route to Portland, Oregon. Once we arrive in Portland we'll turn our wheels east and pedal for Portland, Maine. Here is our planned route across the northern tier of the US. If you know places to stay, sights to see, or good eateries/breweries along this route please post and tell us!
Every story must have a beginning, and every blog must have a first post. PortlandCruz is our story of biking five thousand miles across the northern U.S from Portland, Oregon, to Portland, Maine.
