Hello all, I was hoping that someone out there might be able to recommend some good rides in southern Oregon, because I'll be stationed there for 3 months this summer and I'm bringing my bike. :) The nearest towns to my post are Butte Falls, Eagle Point, White City, Central Point, Medford and Ashland. I'm an intermediate rider who's looking for some gorgeous scenery and adventure along some fun (but not too technical) single track trails. Any advice from locals or other gurus would be greatly appreciated, thanks! :) |

Fun Rides in Southern Oregon? |

 I live in Medford. I recommend driving about 40 minutes south west to Applegate Lake for a fun ride around the lake. The lake has about 16 miles of single track with a little forest road thrown in. It is my favorite ride because it is a workout but it won't kill ya. I also recommend Lithia Park in the Ashland watershed. Ashland is about 14 miles south of Medford. If you park at Lithia Park and climb up the Ashland Loop Rd from 4 to 6 miles, you will be in single track heaven. There is very technical to just plain fun coming back to the park. If you go to Medford or Ashland Cycle Sport, they will have great maps available. Corporal Punishment and I ride these trails all the time, when you get here, look us up. We would love to have a guest rider and show you some fun riding. SARGE: NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER STOP TRYING! |
