During the spring, summer and fall of 2011, I rode my bicycle – loaded and self-sufficient – through Oregon.

My name is Ellee Thalheimer. I’m an independent author and I’m bringing you a new kind of guide book. Cycling Sojourner: A Guide to the Best Multi-Day Tours in Oregon is in production and will be available in May, 2012.

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.

Events
– Thursday, May 24th: Book launch at Gregg’s Cycle in Bellevue, WA (105 Bellevue Way Northeast) near Seattle from 6:o0pm – 7:30pm. Come hang out as I discuss the best cycle touring in Oregon, show some killer photos, and talk about the making of Cycling Sojourner. (Optional RSVP via Facebook)

News:
– Stay tuned for my next title, Hop in the Saddle, a guide to bicycling and breweries in Portland, Oregon, due out in November, 2012.
