Me and a buddy just did it over 2 days on July 28 and 29. We stayed at the Nootka lodge in Woodsville then the Jefferson Inn at the half way point. Great breakfast included at the Jefferson Inn. Agree with Bluetick on road condition. Bikes used were IF Planet X with 38m tires and a Lemond Poprad( not sure what size buddy used ). Left one car at Nootka Lodge and another at the Chamber of Commerce in Bethel. Dinner at midway point was gas station convenience store(actually not bad, good size menu) People leave their extra beer in the fridge at the Jefferson so that's free if there is some left! We lucked out. Weather was good. Talked to a couple at the Jefferson that were doing the ride on a tandem. They saw bears also( think sow and 2 cubs). We didn't see bears but saw a lot of 🐻scat. Used the website to download the route to a Garmin. If you get a chance have dinner at the Littleton Freehouse, Their nachos with pulled pork were excellent. Beer is good also. Not a lot of vertical so enjoy the ride!
