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.

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

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 was going slow today, likely slower than usual.  But slow can often have silver linings, which it did for me today. First silver lining…Continue Reading

One of my favorite loops because it’s fun, just an hour long and right here in Ferndale.  Park at Pioneer Pavilion, rided south on Ferndale Road, cross the river at Marietta, ride north on the trail along the river, through Hovander and back into downtown Ferndale. I did this loop yesterday morning and it was sub-freezing as the photos will…Continue Reading

After so many weeks of not watching the NFL, today rolled around without so much as the tiniest thought about football.  Seahawk vs. Eagles, I don’t really care, it’s like rooting for Target to beat out Walmart during their black Friday event.  blah. Today’s route took me to Ferndale via Axton Rd, one of the most dangerous stretches of road…Continue Reading

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

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
