Bicycle route guides such as these provide the spark to broaden my bicycling horizons. An avid cyclist, triathlete and outdoorsman, you might know him from his articles in Adventure Cyclist magazine or the Seattle Times. You may also have stumbled across other guidebooks written by him or joined him out on the road. Jim Moore is a freelance writer and avid cyclist who penned the Oregon bike route guide.

Each ride chapter includes a quick summary, directions on finding the start, an elevation chart, a map, an in-depth narrative of the ride, and the turn-by-turn directions in a mileage log. Listed by area, the rides are rated by difficulty — easy, moderate, strenuous and very strenuous in the Washington guide, and easy, moderate, challenging and epic in the Oregon book.

Comparing the difficulty and distances of the rides in the two books, the Oregon book has more rides geared for novice and family riders, while the Washington book is geared more to cyclists who think nothing of heading out on long-distance rides. The Oregon book, for instance, offers a half dozen rides of less than 10 miles, while the easy rides in the Washington bicycling book are all more than 20 miles.
