They say Oregon is one of the greatest places to ride a bike, and I would have to agree. The Oregon portion of The Pacific Coast Bike Route is one of the most cycle-friendly sections on the trip. With many signs, cycle paths, and easy-going motorists, the stress level of riding this section was refreshingly low.

The Oregon Route starts at one of the largest parks in the nation, Fort Stevens State Park, and winds its way down the 101 to Harris Beach State Park at the Oregon/California border. During this leg of the route, you experience Oregon's diverse and beautiful landscape on full display. From the lush forests at Nehalem Bay, glowing dunes at Honeyman State Park, and great coastal towns with exceptional food, every day brings something new to see and explore.

Although these parks are all located on the coast, each one has a unique feel. That was the spirit I carried with me into the design process, and I hope it's reflected in each design. If you would like to check out more badges, you can find the entire series HERE.
