Harper C.: Five Book Friday: Uncanny Graphic Novels (0 comment)
We are in the thick of winter here in the Pacific Northwest, which means it's dark, damp, and chilly. Rather than escaping to stories with warmer, brighter climates, I personally want nothing more than to dive deep into gothic and uncanny fiction as the wind rattles my windows at night...

Publisher Comments

As the second book in a one-of-a-kind cycle-touring series, this guidebook reveals hard-to-find information about exploring Washington by bike. Learn about the states remotest ribbons of road in the Okanagan, the best bikeable berry stands in the San Juans Islands, luscious Walla Walla wine country vineyards best reached by bicycle, and routes across the Cascade Mountain Range that will transform you into an interminable lover of the Pacific Northwest. Like a cycle-touring concierge,Cycling Sojourner takes care of the logistics and removes obstacles between you and your two-wheeled adventure, so you can grab your bike and go. The nine tours in the book are meticulously laid out and include cue sheets; maps; and information about weather, difficulty level, camping and lodging options, and how to get to the rides start. Yet, the soul of the book lies in the voices of Thalheimer and the four contributing Washingtonian authors who use storytelling, local history, and humor to elevate the book beyond just an everyday guidebook to an inspirational muse that draws out your inner adventurer.

Review

“Bound to motivate even the most seasoned cyclists. Author Ellee Thalheimer, freelance writer and master of everything bike-related, provides readers with a helpful tool for touring Oregon on two wheels.”  —1859 Oregons Magazine on Cycling Sojourner Oregon

Review

“Thalheimers outright love for cyclo-touring is palpable throughout this superbly researched book. Aside from the usual practical information youd expect, its packed with geographical and historical insights and sprinkled with bits of philosophical reflection that get at the why of touring, as well as the how. Cycling Sojourner captures the essence of Oregons most breathtaking two-wheeled adventures while providing rock-solid route information that takes the guesswork out of heading to the hills. Finally, Oregon has the cyclo-touring bible that it so deserves.” —Heidi Swift, editor at large, Peloton Magazine on Cycling Sojourner Oregon

I LOVE this book! I'm new to bike touring, but this book made me all the more excited for the possibilities (and there's an Oregon one, too!). Detailed guides, great food/drink/accommodation recommendations at all price points, historical info, heads-ups to hazards, and just a fun, thoughtful writing style all make this a go-to for folks wanting to explore the Northwest on two wheels. Add to that the fact that all pages are *perforated*, so you can tear out a handful of cue sheets and hit the road any time without carrying the whole book. Brilliant!

A good book for planning some loaded bike touring in Washington State. The "how to get to/from the start/finish" part is particularly helpful when working through the logistics of getting from Point A to Point B by bike. The first one by this lady about Oregon is also good.
