Cycle Oregon is a seven-day, non-competitive bicycle tour through the awe-inspiring landscape of various regions of Oregon. The 2001 tour which was Cycle Oregon 14 covered a basic 415 miles of Eastern Oregon, with daily rides that ranged from 36 to 78 miles. There were optional routes which offered additional, more difficult, mileage for those intent on a superhuman challenge. I biked the basic tour of 416 miles including numerous stops and several miles of hiking. On the road and at each night's campsite we enjoyed the small town hospitality which was supported by an astounding array of services.
I joined a friend, Mark, and two of his three brothers. This was my second Cycle Oregon bike tour. My first Cycle Oregon tour was in 1998.
The tour began and ended at Prairie City, Oregon. In between, we had stops at Seneca, Crane, Diamond, French Glen, Burns and Izee. At each stop, we setup camp in an open field.
