MLC is on for 2010 !!!

We are planning on hosting the annual Mountain Lakes Challenge this year on Saturday, June 19th, after a one year hiatus. The event planned for this year includes two hilly rides we have offered in the past; a hilly century from Ashland around Lake of the Woods and back, and a not-quite-as-hilly metric from Ashland to Howard's Priarie Lake and back. More details to follow on this site...

Bear Creek Greenway crossing Barnett in Medford.

Good news is that the grade separated crossing of the Bear Creek Greenway over Barnett Blvd. in Medford is about to start.  The crossing will be an above grade bike-ped bridge over Barnett with approach ramps next to the Best Western Motel on the south and next to the dog park on the north.

The bad news is that the six months of construction will make the current crossing a construction news.  However, the power in charge have figgured out how to keep the path open.  See Nathan Broom's note below.

Note from Nathan:

Hi cyclists. Construction begins on the Greenway's Barnett Road overpass right after Thanksgiving. The plan had been to close the Greenway from Barnett to the next access point south--the Medford Sports Park--for up to 6 months. Thanks to Jenna Stanke and those who listened to her pleas, it looks like the Greenway will stay open during construction instead of detouring travelers onto Hwy 99. Great work Jenna! Here's her summary of the closure:

Happy Thanksgiving,
Nathan

Bear Creek Greenway - Barnett Road Crossing

The good news is that construction bids came in below budget and a grade separated (bridge) crossing is coming soon.   Link to the Mail Trib 9-18-2009 article:

The bad news is that the reconstruction of the Barnett Bridge crossing Bear Creek has the intersection used by bicyclist crossing Barnett torn up and changing from day to day.  We have a recent hazard report of at least one cyclist crashing at the intersection.  Be carefull and consider dismounting and walking if it looks too challenging.
