The Methow Valley
is well known for it’s awesome mountain biking, however
what many do not realize is that the dry warm weather, varied
terrain and quiet roads make the Methow an ideal road biking destination.
Without leaving the Valley there are multiple trips that can be
as flat or as steep (or even steeper) as you want, with alpine
terrain to dry farmland, from an hour to an all day ride.
If you have a cyclo-cross
bike then there are literally hundreds of miles of available forest
roads, which can take you completely over to the Okanogan without
seeing tarmac!
Refueling opportunities
are plentiful and of good quality, with several bike shops available
for technical support or ride advice (Winthrop Mountain Sports-Winthrop;
Methow Cycle & Sport- Winthrop; D-Tours- Mazama). Post-ride food
options are also varied and of good quality, whatever your tastes.
Next time you come
to the Methow, bring your road bike and we’ll see you on
the road!
