Be careful not to compromise what you want most for what you want now. Zig Ziglar After much thought, I have decided to vote NO on the current FSD Bond.   What I, and many others, want now is a safe clean efficient, modernized Ferndale High School, remodeled or new, it doesn’t matter.  What I want most though, is for…Continue Reading

A few months ago I wrote about Another Way to do my regular gravel/trail/pavement loop. That ride I did riding my Kona Dew shod in a used set of Schwalbe Marathon touring tires that I had hanging around the garage.  The Marathons worked good on the roads and gravel, even doing okay on the path’s.  Since then I rode the…Continue Reading

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

Saturday was a nice morning for a long road ride. As a fitness goal, I signed up for the 100 mile Tour de Whatcom in July, so it is getting to be the time that I need to get my body used to the long miles on a road bike.  Fitness levels for road biking and mountain biking may be…Continue Reading

Last week’s Haggen to Haggen Loop ride was a bit of a bust.  It’s been several months and several hundred miles of riding since I’ve last had a flat, so three in one ride was just time to pack it in and try another day. So today, with a fresh tube and patch kit in my pack, I set out…Continue Reading

30 mile loop or 50k loop?  It doesn’t really matter because today it wasn’t a loop unless I can count my wife picking me and my bike up at Cornwall Park and driving us back to Haggen in Ferndale. The ride did hold, and really still does hold, much promise to be a great Ferndale/Bellingham loop.  Heck, I even had…Continue Reading
