Mt. Baker Ride Sunday July 27th PNW, Official Thread.
![]() The road of choice: Mt. Baker Hwy (WA-542) When: Sunday July 27th UPDATED Meet Points: * North - Tim Hortons, 1861 Sumas Way, Abbottsford, 8am * South - Haggen Grocery, 757 Haggen Dr, Burlington, WA 10am Breakfast...? Lunch...? Burlington is 1h20m away from Sumas via Hwy 9 and and 1h 21m from Seattle. Seems like a great middle meet spot (thanks chomper) Then it's just 1h50m back to the top of Baker from there. For the north people, 8am at TH will get us at the border a few minutes after we depart hopefully missing the Sunday morning rush. It's a 1h20m ride down to Burlington. If the wait at the border is nothing and ride down is 100% we will be 30-40minutes early in Burlington... like that will happen ![]() MAP LINK ![]() So far we have: North kingsley chomper TrickyGirl + Hubby Tim jasonsmith Axel Steven Barer NAGA800 Al the old biker ride South R.W. murphyslawyer BenzTech RVFR? Seattle heymike Who else ![]() oh... and I'm not leading! Just organizing since I was voted to do so ![]() Last edited by jasonsmith; 07-29-2008 at 09:47 AM. |

Thats awesome man, kinds makes all this planning overkill. Looks really scenic, we need to bring some cameras with us for sure. Its good that ya got up there early, since you will be leading us and all.
![]() Really nice pics, hope looks just like that when we go. |

If i might make a suggestion on a Southend meeting place: the Haggens grocery store in Burlington. Its just off the freeway at the Hwy 20 exit and easy to get into and out of.

Lets see now. Leave home at 02:30 for 04:30 start. Shift supposed to be over at 15:00 but stay for Symphony of Fire which gets me off shift probably somewhere around 01:00. Drive an hour home and take a dump, them jump right back on the bike and head in for the next 04:30 start again. Guess what my answer to that was? ![]() ![]() ![]()

Baker Ride
Jason,
Sorry. 27th is definitely out for me. Not only do I work, my son arrives back to Canada from 3 months away in Australia. Kinda think that takes priority. I will have to see if some of those who could not make it, may want to try another day possible mid week or something.

This sounds great! I will endeavor to get up on time or meet you at the top at least!
Might I suggest Silver lake rd on the return journey north. It by passes the boring bits between Maple Falls and Columbia (#547 is straight as an arrow). You southern riders should enjoy Mosquito lake rd on your return journey, it connects north east of Deming on #542 and meets #9 at Acme. Cheers, Ryan |

Ok so the south meet point will be where Rev suggested. Haggen Grocery at 757 Haggen Dr, Burlington. I figure if we would like to do breakfast or brunch we'll also have a better choice of locals. So that's it, no more planning, I'm on vacation or strike ![]() |

I Agree. Tow them other buggas away and make this class parking only. Looking forward to seeing your ride. Blue looks so sic on a bike. Wished it was an option on the VFRs in North America. Think they are available elsewhere. I think a few from down under have blue ones.
