Member Contributer elevation Posted August 25, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted August 25, 2010 I am heading up Thursday at 4pm if you're interested. Sunday is a possibility but it would have to be later. I live in White Rock BC so it's easy for me to cross the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer elevation Posted August 27, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted August 27, 2010 Last nights Mt Baker run was great. It threatened rain at various times but we never got wet. At the top of Mt Baker it was pretty chilly (48F). Then I decided to take a slow ride up to Artist's Point and that was complete fog and 39F! I didn't stick around long. The fog was so thick I got somewhat lost at the top in the parking lot and corners were not appearing like they should! On the way back down we stopped at El Nopal for some mexican. Warmed up with some extra hot habanero salsa before riding home. On the ride home we were treated with a thunder and lightening storm off in the distance. Beautiful! If the weather is somewhat cool. Mt Baker will be VERY cold at the top but if it is warm it is fine. Weather for Sunday looks good. What time do you think you will be up there? I have some morning plans but I could make it later. It all depends on when you are going to head up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to meet you if you are up for a ride again let me know Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
