Last month marked the first official ride of Queers & Gears, Ashland’s brand new LGBTQ+ social bike group, and it couldn’t have gone better. With six riders and three more friends joining for the post-ride hangout at Skout Taphouse & Provisions, the energy was joyful, inclusive, and already shaping up to become a favorite monthly ritual.

Gear up for an epic winter ride and stay at The Columbia Hotel, your home base for easy access to Southern Oregon’s top mountain biking trails. After a day of shredding downhill runs, unwind in comfort with our range of rooms, from budget-friendly options to more luxurious stays.

For riders looking to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy a more leisurely pace, Ashland's trail system offers plenty of options. The recently renovated Columbia Hotel in downtown Ashland, has opened with a goal to support mountain biking and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
