I’ve been riding one of my “go to” rides another way lately, a way that I feel is much more safe than my normal Nooksack Loop Trail – 1st Loop. The normal loop has you crossing Slater Rd. at Ferndale Rd, and I just don’t like going anywhere near Slater on a bike, especially when cross traffic doesn’t stop, is moving…Continue Reading

It’d be a great trail to have running around Whatcom County, just don’t see it ever materializing. So until never arrives, I will just keep riding my version of the loop trail. My version essentially follows the trail proposed way back in…Continue Reading
