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.

23-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.
26-Tuesday group ride 5:45pm sharp at the Mt Shasta Fish Hatchery
28- Thursday group ride 5:45pm sharp from Pete and Bonnie's house
30-Saturday-Meet at Shingletown Store at 31268 Hwy 44 (Between Mobile Park Dr. and Shingle Glen Trail) at 8:15 A.M. Sharp to get out of the lowlands before it gets hot.
The Ride will start and end in Shingletown. 103 mile loop through Lassen National Park with 8,000 to 11,000 feet of climbing. Loop will include about 10 miles on HWY 36 and 10 miles on HWY 44. The rest of the route will be on lightly traveled back roads. Highest elevation reached will be over 8,500 feet. Spectacular scenery.
The ride will be unsupported but there are several places along the way to get food and water. Lunch stop in Lassen park where sandwiches can be purchased for about $6. If it is hot I would suggest bringing a third water bottle in your jersey pocket. Bring energy bars etc. in jersey pockets also. There is a $5 fee to enter the National Park on Bike. I would suggest bringing about $20 to purchase food, water, and park entrance.

7-Saturday-The Death Ride
7&8-Seattle to Portland 200mi/2day organized ride.
7-Saturday 8am Mt Shasta Fish Hatchery The "You'll be Wailin' by Whalan" Summit ride Approximately 55 miles-allow 5-1/2 hours of riding time; including what may be the toughest climb in the South County. A note of caution: this ride includes seven 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 15-20 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.

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.
