9/2016 Just went on 47 to 202 and the roads have been carefully resurfaced and are of excellent quality... no potholes, sinkholes or major cracks. It's my favorite way to get to the Oregon Coast, perhaps along with the not-as-well-paved Nestucca River Road.

The road surface has deteriorated badly since the route was added. There are places near the middle of the route where the decision is which pothole to hit rather than best route around...it's still a great ride, but way slow and hard on your bike in places.

This is a pretty good route although the scenery isn't that spectacular. There are decent amenities along the route. They were placing fresh blacktop the day I was riding so the surface quality of the route is greatly improving.

Beautiful ride. Backcountry through trees, farm, and a few little towns. Not much traffic. Enough curves to keep it interesting. Would ride it every week if I lived there.
