Cooler temperature this morning which meant I could start riding a bit later. I headed south.
The trail ran along I-5 with periodic glimpses of Bear Creek.
Metal sculpture of manzanita – a symbol of resilience.
At 10 miles, I had to turn around. Apparently there was huge machinery ahead removing dead trees.
20 miles wasn’t enough so I rode north for a few miles before turning around. Medford crews were mowing all along the trail and Medford police were rousting the homeless.
Miles = 28. Then I drove to Cottage Grove OR. Not a very nice hotel tonight, but close to the trail for tomorrow’s ride.

too bad about the ride that was cut short and the not so nice hotel, but there are generally some challenges in every trip. I’m sure your next stop will be better. Terri
Thanks for posting a comment! I get so few, it’s nice to know someone out there is reading the blog.
So important to be flexible on a trip like this.
