Ashland Up & Down Bike Ride 2019

Ashland welcomed riders from the Northwest back for the fourth annual Up & Down on July 20, 2019. The Cascade Siskiyou Scenic Bikeway is the route of the iconic 49-mile, 4900′ ride to the Greensprings summit, across Howard Prairie and back down the Dead Indian Memorial Road Highway. It featured two water stops and two rest stops with full support services. Earlier riders had requested a century, so in 2019 a second option the Spencer Creek at 96 miles with 7800′ of climbing was added. This route fulfilled every century-lover’s dream with good road conditions and low traffic. Riders were greeted with a terrific lunch and free beer after the ride. Many friendly volunteers made the ride experience the best ever.
