Route Notes: Out of Tillamook
View Larger Map
Follow the 131 out of Tillamook (In the city it is Third Street, turn right onto it if you are heading south on hwy 101.) "Cycling the Pacific Coast" wants you to take the long way around, but unless you really want to see the lighthouses, stay on 131 until you get to Whiskey Creek Road. Follow Whiskey Creek Road to Netarts Bay Rd. This puts you back on the book route.
Upsides: shorter, very scenic.
Downsides: potentially more climbing (all very easy grades), no lighthouses.
