I'll second what John has to say about Amtrak. Note that the Coast Starlight and all other amtrak long-distance trains (as far as I can remember) still requires you to box your bicycles for transport. The Cascades service trains (numbering in the 500s) have built-in bike racks in the baggage cars where the attendant will hang bikes by the front wheel, making getting on and off far easier.
So it might make sense to ride to a larger city you intend on returning to (Portland or Seattle), spending a few hours exploring, and catching local Cascades service to wherever you want to get closer to. At fares hovering around $20-$30, it's stupid cheap. Like Andy said, let us know when you're in PDX! We'll send you back south drunk, fat, and happy, in that order.
