There is no gravel...
If doing the loop from Newport, cut off on Otter Crest Loop (Your own private climb along the ocean) and by the Golf Course at Salishan for 4 mi less 101...

Thomas,
From Lincoln City ride a few miles south on Hwy 101, until you reach the Siletz River. Just before the Siletz River Bridge, turn left on Hwy 229 (Siletz Highway) and follow it all the way down to the little town of Siletz. It's a beautiful, very low-traffic, paved country-road ride along the Siletz River, with maybe 100 yards of gravel/dirt road in the mid-section. There is a pizza place in Siletz if you want to make a lunch stop there. Turn around at Siletz and return the same way. (Or, for a longer, more heavily trafficked ride, continue south to Hwy 20, west into Newport, and then back north to Lincoln City via Hwy 101.) Search for "Gleneden Beach" on Google Maps for a map of the area.

Curt and Thomas... you can follow Curt's directions to Siletz and continue South to Toledo. Once across the highway and going into Toledo, take the first major road to the Right (Yaquina Bay road, I think it's called) and ride along the Bay all the way to Newport (not that far). Complete the loop by returning North on Hwy101.
