There are some nice videos attached to this link...

I have loved and truly enjoyed international travel by bicycle, but local fare stacks up pretty favorably in many ways if you are into more natural settings. I tend to go waaay off-piste, but these semi-formalized routes are a nice introduction to cycle-touring in the state of Oregon.
Best, Dan.

Some A-grade trails there, for sure.
Let me be immodest and give you my own recommendation: In 2016, I made a monthlong ride from just north of Jasper, Alberta, south through Waterton Lakes National Park to Montana, and then west to Washington state and the coast in the US. Most of that mileage was on public roads, rather than bike paths. But, I reckon the scenery was on a par with the ones in the Timeout link.

Experts at three medical universities agree on the course of action and my surgeons are regarded as world-class in this field. I feel confident in them, like them, and they are deeply invested in a good outcome for me, so roll on Friday when all should be done and dusted except for the recovery.
Now, go take some good rides for me so I can live vicariously till I'm back on my bike again!
All the best, Dan.
