I'm going to be riding the Oregon 3 Rivers route Aug 26th - Sep 4th, 2015. I'll be arriving in Eugene the afternoon of the 25th and hitting the trail the morning of the 26th, following nearly the same route & day schedule as
http://www.bikepacking.net/bikepacking-routes/oregon-three-rivers/, with a few very minor tweaks. I've done exhaustive map planning and have all hotel/lodge reservations in place. I'd hoped to ride it with a partner but none of my local riding buddies were able to make the dates.
I'm flying home from Eugene on Sep 8th, which leaves me a couple of days of pad in case of any delays (though I'm highly motivated to stick to my schedule since I've got hotel reservations in place for Oakridge, Lemolo, Oakridge (again), and Harbick's; I'll ride in rain unless it's terrible). If I stay on schedule, I'll catch the bus from the McKenzie river back to Eugene on the 4th.
I'll be running with around 45 lbs of gear (including BOB trailer) and I typically average 6mph when touring with full gear on routes with a decent amount of climbing (~1000ft/hr). I'm no speed demon but I'll crank forever as long as the water and calories keep flowing
