Summer is in full swing at UBI! We still have openings available for July and August courses and later dates. Check out our class schedule at bikeschool.com

Summer is a busy time in Ashland with the Oregon Shakespearean Festival, band concerts in Lithia Park, even silent discos in the park, to name a few events.

Don't forget your bicycle! The Bear Creek Greenway is not far from UBI and if mountain biking is your thing, book a shuttle to the top of Mt. Ashland and ride your bike 14 miles downhill into Ashland.

We hope to see you in class!

2027 Wild Reveal🔥

Lots of exciting trail news in an update from SUTA President Joy Rogalla!

**SUTA had just enough funding left to hire a w**d trimming crew for 10 days, and the crew, plus numerous of our hero-volunteers managed to get over 30 miles of the Sterling Mine Ditch and Jack-Ash trails systems trimmed before fire season shuts down the power equipment use! Way to go, String Trimmers!! You ROCK!

**There are still at least a dozen trees down, and with limited power equipment hours for fire season we may not get to them all right away. Please be patient. If you are a USFS or BLM certified sawyer with a current cert and want to help, please contact us at [email protected]!

**The upcoming Siskiyou Out Back (SOB) 100-k ultra-run on July 11, which starts and ends at MtAshland, will incorporate much of the Sterling Mine Ditch and Jack-Ash trail systems this year! This will make for some awesome running with spectacular views on great trails (freshly string-trimmed!) for all the competitors! You can find the maps on the SOB website www.siskiyououtback.com and more details.

**SUTA and other local trail groups are joining Oregon Trails Coalition in hosting the 2026 Outdoor Recreation Summit in Ashland October 22-24! SUTA Pres Joy Rogalla and SUTA power-volunteer Liz Shen are on the planning committee and will be among those giving presentations. SUTA will also host a guided hike on some of SUTA's most scenic trails during the weekend.

**SUTA will be working with A Greater Applegate (AGA) in September during the Jacksaphine Country Faire week to host a guided hike on the Siskiyou Crest Viewpoint trail, an easy out and back with a stunning 360 view. This is a great hike for families, about 2.5 miles total. Watch this fb page for announcement of details and date.

**SUTA will be installing trailhead and wayfinding signs on the brand new Poormans Creek Trail loop this month. Once installed, the trail will be officially open for non-motorized use. This is a very pleasant and beautiful 8-ish mile loop, total. Stay tuned for that announcement!

🚫🎆 Fireworks Are Prohibited Within Jacksonville City Limits 🎆🚫

It’s summer, it’s hot, it’s dry, and beginning this Friday, our region moves into the “High” wildfire danger category.

As retail fireworks stands begin opening throughout the Rogue Valley, the Jacksonville Police Department would like to remind residents and visitors that the sale, possession, and use of all fireworks within the City of Jacksonville is prohibited under Jacksonville Municipal Code 8.03.010(C).

Violations may result in administrative, civil, or criminal penalties pursuant to Jacksonville Municipal Code 8.06.040(B).

We want everyone to enjoy a safe and memorable Fourth of July and summer season. With dry vegetation and elevated fire danger throughout our area, even a single spark can have devastating consequences.

Please help protect our community, our homes, our businesses, and our surrounding forests by leaving fireworks out of your holiday plans this year. It’s not only the smart thing to do—it’s the legal thing to do.

Thank you for helping keep Jacksonville safe this wildfire season!
