Grand Ronde to Portland

[CDT2008]

Hi,

I'm hoping to get some local knowledge here. We're coming down the Pacific coast on a cycling tour. We're following the "adventure cycling" maps most of the way. We're looking a couple recommendations:

1. The best "bike friendly" road to take from Grand Ronde to Portland.
2. Can you recommend a good microbrewery that can handle about 30 cyclists/support staff?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Kind regards,

CDT '08 Planning commitee.
