Today’s ride around the Lummi Peninsula was the quietest trip around that loop that I can ever recall. That’s something, especially for this particular loop that can be fraught with barking dogs, loud trucks and cars whizzing to and from the ferry. Today though….nothing. Just nothing. It was a nice warm spring morning, not too early, but it seemed everyone…Continue Reading

Two Towers and a Trail?
Since the first time I bike hiked up to the towers on Lookout Mtn I’ve wanted to explore some of the nameless trails on the way back down. On today’s ride I did, and the trail I chose will now be know to me as No Buenos Trail. I’m sure it has a proper name as people obviously spent a…Continue Reading
Haggen to Haggen Revised

It’s basically a loop through Ferndale via Smith & Noon roads and then hitting as many trails/paths as I can link together to bring me…Continue Reading

It looks like the short section of railroad grade between Cornwall and Squalicum Parks is preparing…Continue Reading
Bellingham Inner Loop

Early Spring Loop – rev A
A couple of weeks ago I kicked off what looked like Spring ‘19 with a 40 mile loop that essentially rounded Bellingham, hitting iconic locations like Whatcom Falls, Galbraith, Padden and Boulevard Park while also extending up to Hovander Park in Ferndale. Enjoyed the heck out of that ride, but felt like a few revisions could be made to the…Continue Reading
