  • Spring Loop revision C

    Spring Loop revision C

    Or revision B, or maybe D, I don’t really know how many times I’ve revised this route. Maybe I’ll quit revisions on it all together because lately the changes haven’t really been updates so much as small variations to account for my mood or weather. Today, a sunny Sunday morning, had the trails around Lake…

  • Quiet Lummi Loop

    Quiet Lummi Loop

    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…

  • Two Towers and a Trail?

    Two Towers and a Trail?

  • Haggen to Haggen Revised

    Haggen to Haggen Revised

    Over last summer, and even a bit through winter, this loop became one of my goto loops.  I can ride it from my house or it’s almost as easy doing from the Haggen parking lot.  It’s basically a loop through Ferndale via Smith & Noon roads and then hitting as many trails/paths as I can…

  • Nooksack Loop – Again and Again

    Nooksack Loop – Again and Again

    I’ve done this loop, my Nooksack Loop, again and again and again, each time refining it just a bit.  And the refinements keep getting smaller and smaller as there really isn’t much in the way of new trails or roads happening along this route.  It looks like the short section of railroad grade between Cornwall…

  • Bellingham Inner Loop

    Bellingham Inner Loop

    If I’ve said it once, i’ve said it a thousand times; I love to ride loops.  Yes, I do.  I even think of out and back rides as kind of like linear loops in that once you turn around, even the terrain seems new; uphill is down, an uphill obstacle becomes a drop, it just…
