No, I didn’t watch the Seahawks again today. I tried to catch a sunny time this afternoon to get in a quick ride. That sunny time turned out to be what we called a sucker hole when I used to climb mountains. Then, it was a little more important to read correctly, today it just meant it took longer and…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.

Hope you like bikes.

Seahawks 2017
I gotta say that I am more than a little disappointed in how the Seahawks franchise, as well as the NFL, is handling the whole kneel during the National Anthem fad. People fought and died to establish our nation with participatory government. More people fought and died ending slavery allowing Blacks a say in that participatory government. Whether you are…Continue Reading
Nooksack Loop Trail – 2nd Loop
Pro: Lots of gravel/dirt in an urban area. Fun mixed trail that includes the squeaky new sections of the Bay to Baker Trail. Con: Smith & Hannegan have wide shoulders, but may also have heavy traffic. Guide & Smith intersection needs to be taken seriously. Marine Drive has a some narrow spots without shoulders, especially the bridge. If you park…Continue Reading
