Bike Path - Medford
Had to pick up the Jeep. A very pleasant ride. Temperature just about 70.

Easy ride to feel out how it felt. It only hurt when I hit bumps, otherwise I was fine. Sunny but cool day.
Its about a 5.5 mile climb up Wagner to Stump jumb trail. We met Scott, a pistol packing mountain biker, who showed us the trail. Its a short but fun trail that ends a the ditch road which goes back out to Wagner. I fell just before the end. Bruised ribs.
Snuck out early from work. A really nice day, near 70. Andy found a way to cut through behind Bear Creek and come out on Garfield in Medford. Took that up to Kings Highway and then looped back to the bile path.
Dan R is back from Mexico and Dan D. joined us as well. I was really slow. Still wore out from Sunday.
Up to the 14 mile marker. Really warm. The bike path and South Stage to the store. Back the usual way.
I haven't done many solo night rides this year. Snow is gone except for a few traces and some slush at the bench. Some one had been clearing downed trees with a chainsaw on toothpick but there is a big madrone down on lamb's mine trail.
Still too much snow up on the trails so we road out to the lake. Took the trail from the quarry to the trail through the rosehips and out to the back of the lake.
Met David at Colver park. Foggy in the valley but sunny in Ashland. Road about 1.5 miles up past Buckhorn springs. Lots of gravel in the road.
Too much snow to get up the usual route. We rode around some neighborhoods and some new development below Mt Meadows before heading up E. Nevada.
