Orchard Loop
First after work road ride of the season. Really hot for April. Supposed to cool off soon. Paul got a flat just after the wooden bridge coming in to Ashland.

Starting in Gold Hill. Table Rock Modoc Antioch. There was a big bike race going on. Very warm for April, actually hot. Andy's 60 mile birthday ride.
Warmer and dry. Felt great to do a MTB ride after a bunch of road rides. Toothpick was muddy and BTI is getting dry and loose.
Cloudy but not too cold. Coleman creek. Dark Hollow. Kady lane. Pioneer.
My annual ride my years in miles ride. Cool and cloudy but not too bad. East side to Pheonix then bike path to Central Point. Upton to the road by Table Rock - Tolo to Old Stage and back through Jacksonville.
Into the wind in both directions. It got really bad coming back. Sunny day. Mid 60s.
Colder again bit not too bad. We were about to do BTI but Paul got a flat. A nail on the trail.
Pretty beat from yesterday's ride but glad I did it. Clouds rolling in and windy. Will be colder tomorrow.
Warmer. Very nice Spring day. Went up Orchard Home to Skyview Drive. Then did Pioneer.
To Barnet road and back. Then out 66 to Crowson. Warm enough for a road ride.
Fence line (lean right) and White Rabbit. Sunny but the air was cold. We left early (4:30) since I'm off this week, so we did the whole thing in daylight.
Up Tolman. Warmer but threatening rain. No snow int the roads or trails.
Another warm night. My bike had a flat so I rode Linda's.
Took White Rabbit down. It's in good shape.
Much warmer. I had to take off my thights for the climb. Took BTI down to the park.
Cold clear night. Trails were mostly frozen. Daylight savings kicked in so we did need lights until the way down.
First road ride since Jan. 19. Met David in Talent. Did East side then West side and Adams road. Cold wind out of the valley but the sun was warm.
A little muddy but not bad. No snow on the trails.
Up Tolman. Snow is gone, plenty of mud. Warmer but windy. BTI is getting a little sloppy but is still good.
Rain turning to snow. Snow on the trails but less than an inch in most places. Took the gully down.
Some mud on the trails. Warm. Took BTI down.
Up the single track. Part way up Cat Walk. Sown BTI.
Clear cold night. Still some traces of snow.
Cold. Light snow on the upper trails. Light snow in the air. Took BTI down. It was great.
Up Tolman. Warm day. A little snow left but not much. Cat Walk is starting to get rutted on the turns. Went down BTI which is in great shape. Robert Luaders joined us.
Another warm night. We went up the Tolman side.
Warm night. Andy's friend Sharon from Colorado rode with us.
Nice day once the fog lifted. Snow on the road and trail. The lower part of the trail has been bull dozed ugly.
Sunny day. Warm in the sun. Trails are good. Snow is all gone. Took BTI down to the park. Nice baked turns. The jumps have been filled in so at my speed they are gentle bumps.
A muddy mess.
Some snow on the trails. Nice and crunchy.
Warmer but misty. Trails are still too dry.
Warm enough for a road ride. High near 65. Not bad for January. Still lots of gravel but not too bad.
Just kept getting warmer the farther up we went. Met Ron from Carlsbad who was here for UBI. No snow except a patch at 4 Corners
Colder but still warmer on top. Ran into another rider who had a gauge. It was 51 at the trailhead.
Warmer on top. Didn't hit the cold air until back down to Morton st.
First ride of the year. Missed two weeks after cataract surgery. All the snow is gone.Today was sunny and cold. Trails are good.
Straight up. Then up lower Bull Gap trail and upper missing link trail. Then the new trail over to East View. Back to four corners, down Cat Walk etc. Still sunny. No fog even in the valley, and still no rain.
Still clear and not too cold. Quarter moon quite bright. Upper BTI has been graded and is in great shape.
Parked at Tolman and East view. Up 2080 to old road on the right. Over to lower Bull Gap trail. Down to Upper Missing Link. Down to new connector trail back over to East View. Down East View.
