Details
Approximate route: http://goo.gl/maps/yD7A6
Wednesday 7/3: 10pm Amtrak red-eye from Emeryville
Thursday 7/4: 8am arrive Klamath Falls, ride ~60 miles to Crater Lake. No room at the inn, so we will have to camp at Mazama Campground. There will be mosquitoes :-(

Saturday 7/6: ride ~ 50 miles to Dorena (Shoreview RV/Campground)
Sunday 7/7: final stretch to Eugene (~30 miles, mostly downhill wheee!). 5pm Amtrak overnighter from Eugene to Emeryville (or wherever you want to get off).
Monday 7/8: train arrives ~8:30am Emeryville.
Amtrak schedule: http://www.amtrak.com/ccurl/608/261/Coast-Starlight-Schedule-011413.pdf - tickets are ~$200 plus $200 for half of a shared roomette (if you need/want a bed). You are responsible for getting your own train tickets! I can't front that much cash. I advise you to get them soon.
Accommodation: camping where no beds are available. I will put up a Google doc soon to coordinate this.
This will be CHALLENGING. Long days and long/steep climbs. Touring/road bikes highly recommended!
