Jason Sumner was on his way to becoming a pro sports reporter when he happened to cover a bike race. It changed his life. He writes, "Becoming a cyclist meant exploring my home state in ways I never had before. Fifteen years and thousands of miles later, I get to share what I discovered with you."

This guide is intended for cyclists from novice to expert. It's accessible, friendly, and fun, highlighting less-driven back roads, scenic views, epic mountain-pass challenges, and ambling routes. Each ride includes the following information:

- Difficulty level
- Distance
- Average Time to complete
- Elevation Gain
- High Point

- Maps/Info on land managers for reference
- Directions to start of route
- Description of ride: nature of the ride, sights along the way, best places for food/refueling, and more
