Photo essay: scenes from Ashland, Oregon and the United Bicycle Institute

This blogger and a few buddies pause for a break on a winter mountain bike ride near the Ashland Creek Watershed area. We rode Alice and Wonderland and BTI. Tons of jumps, gaps, banking turns and crushed granite to ride on.

Here’s a dirt jump park by the Greenway bike path in Ashland, Oregon. Too muddy to ride on this day.

Rich Arvizo, a United Bicycle Institute instructor, teaches an advanced seminar on suspension technician certification.

This blogger test rode this Wind Runner 48-volt lithium ion battery-powered electric bike in Ashland Oregon. It has a top speed of around 20 to 25 miles per hour. It’s a pedal-assisted bike, meaning that you could pedal whenever you wanted if you did not want to run the motor.
