Mt. Ashland
There aren't many places around with views like you get on the Mt. Ashland Road. Once you clear the initial mile you are thousands of feet above the landscape below and the horizon opens …
Butte Falls Prospect
The Butte Falls/Prospect Loop is an amazing ride into the cascades. It has some good climbing - nothing that will break the legs - and superb scenery. Traditionally the club rides will …
Anderson Gap
The road to Anderson Gap is one of only a few paved one lane roads that climb into the mountains above the Bear Creek Valley. It does this in spectacular fashion. I enjoy hard climbs. …
Crater Lake Loop
This is probably the classic ride in Southern Oregon. It brings everything a rider could want to the table. It's a short 33 mile loop around the lake with several options for starting …
The Lakes Loop
The Lakes Loop is a great training ride in the weeks before the Mountain Lakes Challenge. It incorporates all of the really hard parts of the MLC and still gets in roughly 50 miles and …

A RIDE IN SILENCE for a Fallen Cyclist
When my dad was in his early 20s he hit a boy on his bike and killed him. My dad was devastated and according to my aunts he was never the same. We grew up with a dad who was tormented. There were other things that happened that anguished him, but that was the biggest.
Just a couple years ago my brother was going through some papers and found the boy's obituary. He was the only child of a widow, the dad having died a few years earlier. That poor mom.
My brother went to the cemetery and put flowers on his grave. We said prayers for him and his family. His name was Stanley Peterson. It is 65 years later and it is still affecting us.
On May 16th I will do the Ride of Silence for this boy, and for my poor tormented dad.
