Mt. Baker 2017

Post by Stéphane Tran »

Hi everyone,

I am looking at my summer schedule, and I am planning a 2-day trip over to Mt Baker and back at the end of August. This is an epic ride over 2 days with 1 night in Glacier WA. I did it last year and would like to get a group of at least 4 people to do it again. It's practically impossible to find a weekend when there is nothing else going on, but I am thinking August 26-27. Post here or email me (teachermantran@gmail.com) if you are interested.

Day 1: https://www.strava.com/activities/670735940
Day 2: https://www.strava.com/activities/670736032

Stephane,

Trying to see if I can make this happen but have a quick question regarding starting at the Tsawwassen side on day one. Are you parking then walking on and taking the ferry over or riding direct from Victoria? Last time I did a Mt Baker return ride we hit the first ferry (6am) by heading out at dawn. It made for a great morning meal and relaxing ride before the real mileage began.

Thanks, Kenji

Hi Kenji,

Last year we rode from Victoria and caught the 7 am ferry.

I'm in pending approval of a vacation submission. Cleared with the family though, probably the most important.

Huge thanks to all who participated and especially to Stéphane for planning, organizing and keeping the group on track. Also a special acknowledgement for dragging my sorry behind up to the mountain and back.
