Biking

The mountain biking options in Ashland are tremendous. And if you’re a road biker, more tremendous options. Just want to cruise with the kids along a creek? Also tremendous opportunities. You know what’s not tremendous? My cycling knowledge. Here are some ideas and if you have some suggestions… I’m glad to give them a try and post them here!

Mountain biking in the Ashland watershed is spectacular. If you are new to the area and wanted to get a quick overview of the main trails watch my Ebike video. Even if you hate Ebikes the video quickly follows the 25 mile 2060 road around the watershed and all connected trails.

Check out my favorite bike shops Ashland Cycle Sport on Oak Street, Siskiyou Cyclery on Siskiyou Blvd, and the one and only shuttle shop to the top of Mt. A. Ashland Mountain Adventures.
