   Environmental factors play a large role in the success of a cycling experience and these factors are anything other than static. Areas develop and grow, traffic patters change, and usually not for the better. What once was an excellent road to ride can become less so with the passage of time. For these reasons, we believe that it is essential that we periodically review and evaluate what we do, with a willingness to make the changes necessary to maintain and secure a quality cycling experience. The application of this process produced significant changes in our Pacific Northwest category of cycling programs last year and accounts for the emergence of our two new Volcanoes adventures that we will introduce in 2010.

    Last season’s 17-day odyssey, Volcanoes of the Cascades, has morphed into Volcanoes North and Volcanoes South, and has been scheduled in a manner that encourages linking the two as an extended experience.

    Our Rogue River Rambler, likely the most popular bike tour in our entire program over the past decade, remains intact and unchanged. We’ve revised and combined our Columbia River and Kootenay Classic tours into a single program that retains the best of both tours. New last year and returning this season is our 7-day Northwest Passage that joins the Columbia River Gorge with the North Oregon Coast. And, of course, we could never consider a new season without the latest chapter in our Sea-to-Sky series.
