This month marks the decades long tradition of Bellingham and Whatcom County’s most popular bike ride. The Tour De Whatcom kicks of in a couple of weeks on July 19 from Boundary Bay Brewing and ends there after your choice of biking distance. Rides are offered in 22, 44 and 66 mile routes around the beautiful scenes and countryside of Whatcom County.
Last year, my friend Steven Collins, my son Harvey and I all went on this ride together. It was my first time completing the tour and we did it all on our Sun-E-Land E-bikes. While riders have the choice to ride manual or e-bikes, all riders are welcomed and encouraged however they feel most comfortable to participate. If you are in the mood for a great biking experience, this is one of the best ways to see and be a part of the PNW biking community.
