Medford Porch to Park Bike Challenge
by Jeff Roberts on May, 30 2020
Here’s a program put on by the City of Medford to get people out on bikes and visit local parks. Note that these routes are not Sisikyou Velo Rides.
These routes may be useful for new members, while Siskiyou Velo has temporarily suspended group rides. Note that there are a variety of lengths and difficulties, and riders should maintain social distancing guidelines.
PORCH TO PARK BIKE CHALLENGE
June 1 – June 30, 2020
Visit www.playmedford.com for route packet and map – or just click here.
Participants may drive to the starting park, or just hop on a bike from your front porch and ride to the nearest park on a challenge route. For ease of riding it is recommended to follow the route directions in order, even if you start in the middle. Follow all traffic laws and maintain social distancing guidelines.
When you have completed a route, submit the Seamless form found at www.playmedford.com. Participants are encouraged to send us photos or post them to #medfordporchtoparks to enter the photo contest.
For each route a participant completes, they will receive a medal and be entered into a drawing for the Grand Prize. The photo contest winner will be featured in the next Recreation Program Guide.
Completed route form: https://seam.ly/TBhrLzOQ
This is a FREE event to participate in!
Thanks to Sandy Sherman, Recreation Supervisor, and Chris Olivier, BPAC.
