Bellingham's LEAST Popular Trails

Рет қаралды 51,107

As diligent, adventurous mountain bikers, Christina and Tom know how to sniff out the best trails when travelling. But, what about the lesser ridden trails that go forgotten about? Guided by the Trailforks popularity map, Tom and Christina set off on a mission to tackle the least trafficked trails that Bellingham has to offer. Can't be that bad right?!

Tom could find a way to be stoked standing in line at the DMV. He and Christina together are a match made in video heaven. PB did themselves a massive favor not letting Tom leave after the academy.

Stoked for more ideas from both of you! This video really shows the experience I had of searching for trails in a new home after I moved just before shutdown. Glad to be at a point where I can connect with riders and get toured around. Although I can't wait to get up to BHAM to ride, I think I'll skip that climb.

Nice job guys on the video. Wow your loop up the hiking trail to pine and cedar lake was right on point for your title of this video. When I first moved to Bellingham 21 years ago I rode that loop and have never done it since sooooo many better options. So steep its a push your bike hiking trail. I have ridden the down trails you took a few times as well. Since I have ridden that loop of trails you did, I have to let everyone else know..... every other trial around, literally every option (100 miles of other trials ) are better than that ride in Bellingham area. Ok I guess there is one, If you like a worse trail, try the Ridge trail right on top of the ridge you went up to, its a true trials ride and a way to punish your self if you like that kind of thing. Congrats you guys did a great job making it look like a good fun ride which was the point of the video.

@andrewince8824 2 жыл бұрын

Feet are used in place of meters because it makes the climb look more impressive. Miles are used to make the hike seem shorter. That's why I clock my speed using Km/h. Makes me look 1.6 times faster.

Pine and Cedar Lakes is tough to climb! The Bellingham mountaineers do a weekly slog up it for them hiking muscles. I was gonna laugh if you did east lost trail into 'Access Trail' on the south side it's pretty brutal.

Around me, there are only lesser-ridden trails. Zero actual mtb tracks, but I can access an endless lifetime of tractor scars from logging. They're surprisingly fun when you find good ones, but a day out exploring comes with no guarantees of a single decent run, lol. Afaik, I'm the only mountain biker here, except for some folks riding XC on the fire roads. But the dirt and terrain is incredible, just need the decades of development like Bellingham has!
