We have at least a foot on the mountain here in Bellingham (Galbraith). I tried to get out today, but my pedals would get stopped in the snow when ever I pedalled, and my bash was even dragging in the snow most of the time.

yeah i wanted to go ride but it is 8 inches in town let alone on the mtn. driving was fun...good thing we have a subaru, though still slick as snot on the roads, pulling into the driveway we made a nice trench cause the car only has like 6-7" of clearance and it was well past that(axle depth of the car)

Uh, have fun with that ride:brow: We're expecting to lose power any time tonight. I'm trying to get to Kevin knock the snow off the hanging tree branches, that are now 'resting' on the power lines.:rant:

Want to hit up Pemby? I am pretty sure the lower part of the mountain is rideable right now.

Tons of snow in Bellingham, close to 1 foot at my house. Was jumping my bike off of my kick ramp last night and landing in fresh powder:biggrin: :biggrin:

Driving is a blast right now, most of the roads aren't plowed. Pitching the truck sideways in corners (on purpose) is fun

i suppose we should all remember that this month is not normal in rainfall...

i mean it's a half inch off the all-time record for a month.

Ya, we live on 148th, it was pretty bad. I got lucky-er and was able to weave though side streets and stay off 99 and Greenwood. Watching other people drive in the snow makes me nervous:rant:

It'd be cool if there was a covered and lit park that was big-bike friendly. Something similar to the SST flowpark with a roof.

Theres some big abandoned warehouses on the waterfront, hmmmm

There is the Skatebarn down in Renton?.... Would be nice if they had something like Rays in Cleveland.

Oh man I remember seeing the Mountain bike action with rays article about 1-2 years ago. Looks like an amazing place I would definatly be up for riding if we got a place like that.

We could use it considering our fall and winters are always soaking, and ruin the trails *for the most part*.
