Lower Klamath Lake Loop

Routendetails

*Lower Klamath Lake Road loosely follows the California-Oregon border with a constant panoramic view of @photo[Mount Shasta](3386412). Enjoy gently rolling hills on near empty roads with the cool little farm town of @point[Merril](d,42102.26) half way through.* 
___
This is a great ride to log some base mileage in the early season or equally great for a beginner cyclist to work their way up to. With no major climbs to speak of, while also not being perfectly flat, this ride can be as hard as you want to make it.

# The Route
You will start out with a @slice[short downhill](d,4927.93,5818.52) on a heavily used highway, but it does have a good shoulder and you're on it for only about a mile. Once you've turned on @point[Tingley Lane](d,7181.74) you can pretty much expect to see only a couple of cars every thirty minutes or so for the rest of the ride.

Stop at the park in Merril underneath the water tower if you need a @poi[bathroom stop](6067946) half-way through. @poi[The Polar Bear](6067947) is a classic drive-through resturaunt that many cyclists use for a quick bite, and it shares parking with the aforementioned bathrooms.

This route is typically clear year around: @photo[when there is snow in town you can normally expect little to no one on the roads out here.](3386414) Expect the prevailing north-west winds to pick up in the afternoon and will factor in to your return from Merril.

Spence Mountain is a new trail system conceived of, designed and built by mountain bikers for mountain bikers. It would be hard to cram anything more into SpenceMountain; it has long climbs, fast descents, jumps, rock gardens and berms, all capped with stunning views of Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon’s largest inland body of water. A long shoulder season makes this ride an excellent option for early- or late-season visits, and downtown Klamath Falls is only 15 minutes away. (less)

A bite-sized portion of the massive Fremont National Recreation Trail, this loop showcases stunning landscapes that will make you feel like you’re starring in your own western movie. The ride is about more than just the views, though, as the nine-mile descent drops you down a rustic piece of singletrack into a remote river valley. (less)
