The ride begins from Battle Rock Wayside Park in Port Orford. The first portion takes side roads east of 101 on Port Orford Loop Road to Highway 101. The route then goes north for about 1.25 miles to Elk River Road. Follow Elk River Road to the pavement end, mile 22.1. Return on Elk River Road to Highway 101. The next section is the Cape Blanco out and back. Head north on 101 for 1.25 miles, most of which is a steady climb. Go left on Cape Blanco Road and ride 5.3 miles to the gated entrace to the lighthouse. The road to the lighthouse was closed. Return on Cape Blanco Road, enduring a long, steady climb past the entrance to the Hughes Historic House. Return to 101. Head south on 101 back to the Wayside. The official bikeway turns right onto Paradise Point Rd to Paradise Point State Park. There is a long hill on this 5 mile section. TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS: 1) If you download the course from the Oregon Scenic Bikeway website (on a Garmin for instance) be careful using the Navigate feature. The cues were fine until turning onto Elk River Road. There are mysterious course marks on Elk River Road. Instead of one long 18.5 mile segment, the Scenic Bikeway RideWithGPS course indicated 3 or 4 junctions or points of interest. Simply follow Elk River Road to the end. Returning west on Elk River Road my Garmin 1030 Plus continued to instruct me to make a U-turn. Follow the road back to 101 and then head north to Cape Blanco Road. 2) There are a couple of short gravel sections on Cape Blanco Road climbing to the Hughes Historic House.
