My sister Melanie snapped this shot of cyclists preparing for the annual Mount Baker Hill Climb in front of the Glacier Ski Shop. Cyclists start at the tiny town of Glacier and ride up to Artist's Point, which is the highest point you can reach on Mount Baker by bike or car. The cyclists climb 4300' in 24.5 miles. The Hill Climb replaces what used to be the DUMB ride-- Down and Up Mount Baker. I guess the acronym was too accurate!

Phew, that sounds like a real challenge. Looks like mostly male cyclists in this photo. Did your sister make the Climb?
ReplyDeleteNo, she and her husband were there for moral support for her brother-in-law. You're right, there's a definite lack of the XX chromosomes! I wonder if I could make it on my old little cruiser with the kids in the trailer... ;-)

ReplyDeleteHi! I'm an administrator for the Belligham Herald's Newsgarden, an online community where people can share news and photos from their neighborhood. Really like that photo, so I shared it on Newsgarden ( http://bellinghamherald.serramedia.com/content/cyclists-preparing-annual-mount-baker-hill-climb ). But I wanted to make sure it's OK to use your photo. Please let me know if you object and I'll take it down. Thanks!
