Stumpjumper Day. I think that has a nice ring to it? Maybe it should always follow Independence Day, like Boxing Day follows Christmas. I spent the first Stumpjumper Day riding my early model Stumpjumper up the long grade to the Galbraith towers. It was a busy day on Galbraith, but most on the road were going up so I just…Continue Reading

Yesterday, as I chugged up the hill leading west out of Ferndale I got a good laugh about money littering the streets of Ferndale. Then as I stopped, just in case it was a $10 or a $20, I got another laugh when…Continue Reading
