Crisp is code for froze my rear end again. Didn’t even start until almost 6:30am, but even that was too early. My fingers haven’t been that cold since I was a kid, who didn’t want to come in from sledding, but now I fancy myself as an adult and as an adult I should know better, or at least buy…Continue Reading
Articles by Garin
Poor as my writing might be, I still like to write. I’ve written a blog or two in the past, but at one point or another they each became a chore rather than a joyful pastime. C.S. Lewis said, regarding writing, “Write about what really interests you, whether it is real things or imaginary things, and nothing else.” I will be following Lewis’ advice so this blog, which bears my name, will remain a joyful pastime. Hope you like bikes.
Signs of the Times
So I rode my Noon Road Loop again today. It’s a nice 24 mile loop that I do pretty regularly. It appeals to me because most of it is through farmland and along back roads.

I did this loop yesterday morning and it was sub-freezing as the photos will…Continue Reading

Today’s route took me to Ferndale via Axton Rd, one of the most dangerous stretches of road…Continue Reading
Seahawks vs. Falcons
Oh crappers, I rode yesterday not realizing that the Seahawks play today. Oh yeah, I am not watching the NFL this fall. Which is good, because if I were might have seen this imbecile make a fool of himself and the NFL by sitting during our anthem and standing during the Mexican anthem. Instead, I enjoyed two, count’em two rides yesterday.…Continue Reading
Seahawks vs. Cardinals
Oops, I didn’t watch the Seahawks vs. Cardinals game today, but I had my reasons. One reason was that the game was apparently on Thursday, not today, silly me. The other, foremost reason that I didn’t watch the game was that, oh yeah, it’s still the take-a-knee 2017 NFL season. So today, not Thursday, I did my Smith Rd. Roundabout…Continue Reading
