  • Nooksack Loop Trail – Full

    Nooksack Loop Trail – Full

    I’ve written about the Nooksack Loop Trail (NLT) before here & here,  and also likely mentioned it elsewhere.  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…

    I’ll delve a little into politics here for a quick moment.  I am hearing a lot of murmuring about a movement to allow voting by 16 year old people.  I think that’s a bad idea, but… A vote will create laws and elect lawmakers who help determine community/national direction, yet at 16, or even 18…

  • Lakes Loop

    Lakes Loop

    I find that loops are just the way to go and this loop turned out to be one of my favorites.  I’ve done the normal all pavement Lakes Loop a few times, but the addition of some gravel roads, trails, and a summit really make this ride something different.  Different in this case means a…
