Explore ride around pompadour bluff
This past Tuesday (3/3/2026) seven SVC members rode from south Medford around Pompadour Bluff south east of Ashland. We encourage members and nonmembers to try one of our "Explore Southern Oregon" rides in beautiful rural areas with few motor vehicles.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
Well that may be a bit of an exaggeration.
But here are some memorable times spent with friends we can continue to enjoy for years to come!
