SuperTour 2012 - Oregon's Cascade Mountains


This summer I signed up for a 2 week road trip in Southern Oregon a loop starting and finishing in Ashland covering 1000 miles with around 70,000' of climbing and sunshine everyday.



Good roads, hardly any traffic, a little bit of dirt track and plenty of climbing is always a good recipe for a great time. For me the stand out days were day 3 Klamath Falls to Diamond Lake which included riding around Crater Lake(above) and day 7 Bend to Belknap Springs via McKenzie Pass(below).


The whole experience was brilliant, great food served up by cooks and plenty of local ale. On the rest day in Bend we saw the time trial for the Cascade Classic in the morning and a criterium in the evening.
If you don't like camping, you may find it a little uncomfortable but at most camp sites there were cabins you could hire.



Next year North Eastern California, probably starting from Lake Tahoe.
