Tour de Whatcom starts from Historic Fairhaven

<< Back to archives | Saturday, July 30, 2011

At 7:30 this morning, almost 300 riders begin their 105 mile ride around Whatcom County.  On, may we point out, a beautiful sunny, blue sky and warm day.  At 10 am about 200 riders will start on the 50 mile tour and at 11:30 about 300 will start on the 25 mile mini tour of our county.  The staggered times provide for most to return somewhat together from Ferndale in the afternoon from 1 to 3 pm. The 105 mile route takes the most scenic roads and most of the small towns in the county.  And Fairhaven is a fine place for relaxing with food and drink after a energetic day. 

We thank Todd Williams for realizing this idea and for putting it on each year.  This is the sixth Tour.  And also the volunteers who work with him plus the sponsors who provide vital services to make the Tour a fun and safe event.  You can visit his Tour de Whatcom website and learn more.  It is always the last Saturday in July.
