A new, comprehensive Washington County bike map is helping cyclists chart their own courses along trails throughout the area. From well-traveled roads to firmly packed paths through the forest, the map provides information about a variety of terrain for cyclists of all abilities.

Published by the Washington County Visitors Association, with input from local organizations, such as the Bicycle Transportation Coalition, the map outlines urban and rural bike routes (and road suitability). Color-coded trails alert cyclists which trails are most suitable, such as those that are closed to motor-vehicle traffic, or those that are less suitable, such as city streets with high traffic volume.

The map also includes suggested stops--farm stands, museums, wineries and campgrounds, for example--as well as bike shops, transit centers and other points of interests.
