WOW, start training ASAP! Take a few days off before hand.
Use Dr. Smoothies Amino Repair and Amino Hydrate to get you well enough for the adventure.

i'm no expert in oregon cycling, but i've done the Seattle-to-Portland ride twice now, and I can tell you that you can avoid I-5 (I'd avoid it like the plague!) by using a rough version of the StP route.
also you might try posting in the Cascade.org forum, it has lots of local cyclists that know the NW roads well.
happy pedaling!

The best way is to take I-5 down to Olympia, then take Highway 6 to the Coast, that will get you to Aberdeen, then take Highway 101 South until you get to your destination, that is the only way I know of. Good luck on your trip.
