At the start of day
two, fat bike enthusiasts
face a 13-mile beach
ride past Haystack Rock
to arrive at the water-
fall in Hug Point State
Recreation Site. Along
the way, riders will pass
the historic stagecoach
road, which is carved
out of the rocks on the
beach.
“(There’s) not many
places you can ride your
bike past the breathtak-
ing scenery of Haystack
Rock and end up at a
hidden away waterfall
on the beach,” Crowder
said.
According to the
Cannon Beach History
Center and Museum,
sources claim a man
from Arch Cape had the
historic road built in the
early 20th century after
his motorcar got stuck in
the surf and submerged.
With the ability to cross
Hug Point at low tide,
stagecoaches and wag-
ons frequented the road
before U.S. Highway
101 was constructed.
Following the ride
to the waterfall, the fes-
tival off ers attendees
a scavenger hunt with
opportunities to explore
the local community’s
restaurants, breweries
and shops. To top off the
day, riders will meet at
Tolovana Beach State
Recreation Site, in front
of Mo’s Restaurant, for
