Cycling's Greatest Misadventures
Cycling, one of the world’s most popular sports, brings to mind Lance Armstrong, the Tour de France, and images of racers crashing into guardrails in the French Alps. Yet every day people on bikes experience hazardous, jaw-dropping, and adrenaline-pumping calamities that become the war stories of not only the pros but also the “average” biker.
Cycling’s Greatest Misadventures is the first book to collect these true stories, ranging from terrifying to comical to downright bizarre. The book contains 25 gripping and sometimes unbelievable stories of crashes, freak accidents, animal attacks, meltdowns, race sabotages, and bad judgment calls that bring to life the strange things that happen once people step on the pedals of their road, mountain, or commuter bikes.
You’ll read about a mountain biker stampeded by a herd of cattle, a man who attempted to jump the Great Wall of China on a bicycle, an engineer who finds hope riding in the rubble left by Hurricane Katrina, and many more. The stories will bring you to the edge of your seat, warm your heart, make you laugh, and leave you shaking your head with disbelief.
25 true stories written by amateur cyclists, professional athletes, and journalists.

Day & Overnight Hikes: Oregon's Pacific Crest Trail
Paul Gerald
The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) winds for 460 miles along the crest of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon. From a high of 7,300 feet above sea level to a low of 200 feet, it traverses deep forest and mountain meadows, crosses whitewater streams and high-country-vistas, and visits countless lakes, including Crater Lake, one of the wonders of the United States. The PCT connects all these, yet it’s within a few hours of more than 90 percent of Oregon’s population. And while the PCT has a reputation as a hard-core wilderness experience, Oregon is considered the easiest, lowest-elevation section of the whole Trail.
Hikers of all attitudes and abilities can enjoy the Trail through Oregon.
Each day and overnight hike contains four key elements to help readers plan and enjoy the perfect trip:
• GPS-based trail maps
• GPS-based elevation profiles
• directions to the trailhead
• trail descriptions
Each trail description offers precise commentary on what to expect along the way and rates each hike for:
• scenery
• trail condition
• difficulty
• accessibility for children
• solitude
Designed to fit easily into a back pocket, Day & Overnight Hikes: Oregon's Pacific Crest Trail leads hikers and backpackers to sites of exceptional beauty and solitude. So grab your boots and start hiking in the great outdoors.
