'Cycling Across Oregon'

“This is not your typical ride guide. Dan Shryock takes the reader on a journey discovering the true magic of Oregon – its history, its communities, and the diverse individuals spread throughout our geographic wonderland. Cycling Across Oregon highlights the crown jewels of cycling routes in the state – the Oregon Scenic Bikeways – but more importantly, makes you truly feel why they are so special, and creates an overwhelming desire to go live those experiences yourself.”

Steve Schulz, executive director, Cycle Oregon

"A great bike ride is about more than just nice roads and pretty vistas, and Shryock has captured what makes cycling in Oregon so special. At once inspiring and informative, he has taken the guidebook genre to a new place with a mix of rich route details, notes on local lore, and interviews with the people he meets along the way. I've ridden some of these routes myself, yet this book gave me a deeper understanding of why these places matter and now I can't wait to explore even more of Oregon by bike!"

Jonathan Maus, editor & publisher, BikePortland

"An absolutely wonderful read. Dan Shryock weaves together numerous genres, elements, and influences into an entertaining, moving, intriguing, and thought-provoking open love letter to cycling that simultaneously espouses his admiration for the people, places, history, and cultures of Oregon."

Adam Sawyer, Oregon-based writer and guidebook author

“If this book doesn’t convince you that Oregon’s bikeways represent exploration heaven, nothing will!”
