Travel Oregon needs your help to populate state's new bicycle tourism
website

Travel Oregon in partnership with Oregon's bicycle leaders and advocates is
developing a comprehensive website for cycling in Oregon. The website will
provide information on the state's best road cycling routes, mountain bike
trails, bike paths, bike-related events, and travel resources. Participants
of the 2008 Oregon Bike Summit suggested a comprehensive website dedicated
to biking in Oregon should be a top recreation and tourism development
priority for the state. Travel Oregon has taken this priority to heart and
will unveil a beta version of the site at the Oregon Bike Summit in Salem on
April 21, 2009 .

So far, we are off to a great start, but we need your help to identify
content for the new site! To help, you can: 1) fill out this survey
and/or 2) make
sure this survey gets into the hands of bicycling gurus, entrepreneurs,
business owners, and aficionados across the state of Oregon so that they can
fill it out. The survey collects information on the following to help us
populate the website prior to its launch:

1) Great road routes and trails for cycling
2) Bicycle related businesses (tour companies, bike shops, or other)
3) Events (races, rides educational, or otherwise bike-related)
4) Input on what kinds of support and/or emergency services cyclists would
like to have at their fingertips

Deadline to fill out the survey is April 1, 2009.

The survey is designed to provide our website production team at Substance
with content leads. The content leads that you provide in this survey will
be reviewed for suitability and if used for the site, edited and curated by
a content coordinator. Suitability is determined by criteria established by
Travel Oregon and Substance in consultation with the Bike Tourism Website
Steering Committee.

Please take the survey now or pass it on to anyone who you think could help
us populate the new online resource for biking in Oregon:
