"Cycling Across Oregon follows a group of friends as they explore rural Oregon using the state's 17 official scenic bikeways as a road map.

Experience Oregon's back roads in this different kind of guidebook. Join them on this road trip as they travel across Oregon's diverse landscapes - over fertile farmland, around towering Douglas firs, and past high desert sagebrush - and see what they find along the way.

Stand in ruts created by countless wagons on the Oregon Trail. Gaze upon the intricate beauty of Smith Rock and the Painted Hills. Step back in time at the Kam Wah Chung heritage site in John Day. Travel over the Cascades, bike through historic covered bridges in the Willamette Valley, and climb the state's oldest standing lighthouse on the Oregon Coast. Meet the owners of an Eastern Oregon ghost town. Meet a hiker trekking solo over the Pacific Crest Trail Admire the perseverance of a cyclist going coast to coast across America. Detour to loop around Crater Lake and its dazzling, deep blue water. Follow the same paths Native peoples took, witnessing the land as they did.

""Bikes are the vehicles that can take us to new places, new people, and new experiences,"" Shryock writes. ""The scenic bikeways are the directional arrows pointing to revelations around the next bend. This is why I ride."""
