This is a Siskiyou County classic 100mi loop with over 10,000 feet of climbing.. We start in the quaint town of Etna; then to the old mining community of Callahan; the work now begins for the 12 mile climb to Carter Meadows with a reward to follow, the great descent to the remote village of Cecilville. We will follow the South Fork of the Salmon River to Forks of the Salmon community. At the Forks we will have a no host lunch, bring your lunch to Etna and Pam will carry it to our lunch stop for you. We then ride upriver to Sawers Bar, home to the oldest and still in service church in Siskiyou County. Both rides continue up river for a few miles until the Idwild Camp at the foot of the 12 mile uphill grind. The 70 milers will then have an opportunity to sag for the drive over the Etna Summit grade. The Centurions will continue over the 12 mile grade that has five miles of 12-1/2% sustained grade.

24-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.

We will meet on the right hand side of the road accross from the Castle Lake turn off and keep all our food & drink in ice chests in the back of yours or my vehicle. The ride is Gumboot summit and back for some food and drink, then Castle Lake Summit and then back for food and drink followed by a long climb to the summit of Mt. Shasta and back. Sabrina Read is the group leader.
#2 Dunsmuir Daze Ride-same start time and place but this ride will go to the Castella Loop and back. Of course we will stop for some cheer at Dunsmuir Days.
8-Saturday-The Death Ride
8&9-Seattle to Portland 200mi/2day organized ride.
9-Sunday 8am Mt Shasta Fish Hatchery The "You'll be Wailin' by Whalan" Summit ride Approximately 60 miles, including what may be the toughest climb in the South County. Tom Chandler is the group leader; cell phone is 530-859-2235. A note of caution: this ride includes five miles of gravel road, this section may present gear and safety hazards.We start at the Mt. Shasta Fish Hatchery and make the long downhill run through the historic railroad town of Dunsmuir to the StatePark entrance. There, we begin several miles of rolling, moderate climbs along a beautiful stream. This idyllic riding continues to the first bridge, where the real grunt work starts. It's approximately ten miles to the summit along a twisty chip-n-seal road that hardly reflects the best work ever done by California's road crews. It's plenty rideable, but if you like to pump those tires up to 140 psi, you might regret it. Sections of this climb confront you with 15+ percent grades (and perhaps the reality of your own advancing age, if you catch my drift). Ouch. Near the summit the road turns to a hard packed dirt surface that's actually more comfortable than the pavement. From there, we'll loop around to Mumbo Summit and take that twisty canyon plunge back to Mt. Shasta and our starting point. Halfway up the climb, don't forget to turn around and look behind you for an awesome view of the Castle Crags.Bring plenty of water as none is available after the climb begins. We will try to organize a water stop somewhere, but that may not happen. Arm warmers are also a good idea.
