21-Mountain
Lakes Challenge-New name, new route, new date, new start/finish location!
The Mountain Lakes Challenge replaces the old Ashland Triple Challenge. Same
great scenery and epic climbs, we’ve changed the tour to Saturday, found a
fantastic new rest stop on the shore of Howard Prairie Lake, and solved the
pre– and post-ride parking hassles. If you haven’t cycled the Cascade-Siskiyou
region of southern Oregon, brace yourself for a wonderful experience. In late
June the wildflowers are at their peak. With a backdrop of Mt. Ashland and
Mt. McLoughlin, you’ll ride by meadows, four dazzling lakes, and conifer forests
of the Cascade highlands.The two century rides (97 and 58 miles)
begin and end at Walker Elementary School in Ashland, while the shorter ride
(27 miles) loops around two lakes up in the Cascades, starting at Hyatt Lake.
After the tours, we’re serving special artisan burritos (chicken or vegetarian),
a side of stone ground corn tortilla chips, a fresh-Mex salad of olives, tomatoes,
corn, zucchini, red onions, and other seasonal fresh vegetables, accompanied
by a choice of cold drinks, and desserts.
Register by mail by requesting a form from Siskiyou Velo at P.O. Box 974,
Ashland, OR 97520, or downloading one from the Siskiyou Velo website http://www.siskiyouvelo.org.
Fees: century, $30; metric century, $25; short ride, $10; after June 15 add
$5 late fee. Century rides include lunch, all rides include snacks, beverages,
and bandana. There will be mechanics on the course. Mass start for the century
rides is 7:30; for the short ride, 10 a.m.

12-Everyone's invited for an nearly the end of season ride to the Etna Brewery.
On Sunday October 14th, meet at Jason's house at 10:15 (427 Lane St.), we
will be leaving on our bikes at 10:30. The ride is an out route(not out &
back) of course your are welcome to ride home. Everyone must arrange their
own ride home from the brewery. If you can't figure out a ride back to Yreka,
let me know. The route will take us over Forest Mtn to FJ and then out on
East Side Rd. We will follow East Side to either Horn or Fay Lane before doubling
back to Etna. The ride should be around 40-45 miles finishing at the Etna
Brewery for some good food and beer (or rootbeer). The brewery opens at noon.
For anyone driving over, I would say that we will be arriving at the brewery
around 1:00. Any questions let me know. The week before the ride I'll be around
until Wednesday morning. I will be heading off to Band Camp (FCOS) from Wednesday
to Friday and out of email and phone contact until Friday night. Feel free
to pass the info along to anyone else. thanks Hope you can join us, Jason
