Cycling Sojourner by Ellee Thalheimer

Thu, 17 May 2012 13:17:40 -0700

This was presentation was broadcast on #BikeCheck on May 8.
Author Ellee Thalheimer discusses the writing of her new book, Cycling Sojourner, A Guide to the Best Multi-Day Tours in Oregon, with an audience of bikey supporters during a launch party at River City Bicycles in Portland on May 8, 2012.
From her blog http://cycletouringoregon.com/
"I hope Cycling Sojourner will inspire you to take a chance on a two-wheeled adventure in Oregon, a state absolutely overindulged with world-class riding that passes over ranges of snow-capped extinct volcanoes, through river valleys laced with vinyards, along wild rivers teeming with salmon, and past cities with some of the most unique cycling culture and infrastructure in the country. Really, we Oregonians are quite spoiled."
