Apple Blossom Time (Medium)

Distance: 37 miles and 3800 feet of elevation gain (mapping software)

Like the two long routes, this medium route also climbs to Oak Glen, but it does this in the opposite direction. The trip up is the same route the long rides use to come down. Although the elevation gain is the same, most consider this direction to be a bit more gradual and therefore a little easier.  However, you do reach lunch before the top and need to complete the climb after lunch (unlike the long routes). Once over the top, the trip back is mostly downhill (like the long routes) but uses a fairly direct route to get back. This return takes you through some pretty neighborhoods south of Redlands.
