Created for stronger cyclists, this ‘heftier’ version of the Crater Lake tour crosses the Coast Range and sails down the knobby headlands of Oregon’s Wild Rivers Coast Scenic Bikeway along the craggy southern seaboard – then turns inland again to follow the Wild and Scenic Rogue River. The showstopper of the week, though, is the ride around one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon: spectacular Crater Lake – which Bicycling Magazine calls “a scenic road that will leave you breathless.” We time this tour to take part in the Ride the Rim Oregon event (entry fee included) so you have the opportunity to ride around Crater Lake without cars!

The landscapes on our Oregon tours are as varied as they are stunning. There are hilltop wineries, bucolic orchards and laden hop trestles; a bounty that can also be enjoyed off the bike with some of the country’s best wine, food and beer. You cycle quiet lanes and bike paths including the Historic Columbia River Highway – one of Bicycling magazine’s best bike rides. And, whether you are in the Willamette Valley or deep in the Columbia River Gorge, snowcapped Mount Hood will be the backdrop to many of your spectacular photographs.

Cycling conditions
Oregon was one of the first states with the so-called "Complete Streets Policy" where cyclists are equal road users. Motorized traffic is actively informed about this. The good cycling infrastructure that is created is reflected in a wide offer of bicycle tours.
Landscape
Along the Pacific coast two forested mountain ranges run parallel from north to south, the Coastal Range and the Cascade Range. In between is the fertile Williamette Valley. East of the two mountain ridges begins a large desert-like lava plateau that extends to the eastern border of Oregon.
Climate
Relatively mild weather in the western half - cool summers and not very cold winters with much rain. In the (north-south), middle part a climate with less rain, hotter in summer and not very cold in winter. In eastern Oregon summers are hot and dry and winters cold and dry.
