Climbing Mt Baker on a bike is an exhilarating experience that requires a combination of physical strength, mental grit, and technical skill. The challenge of the climb pushes you to your limits, requiring you to dig deep and tap into reserves of energy you may not even know you had. But as you reach the peak and take in the breathtaking views from the summit, the sense of accomplishment and euphoria is unmatched. The descent is just as thrilling, as you use your technical skills to navigate the twists and turns of the terrain at high speeds. Climbing a mountain on a bike is a true test of endurance, perseverance, and mastery over the elements. This is an incredible climb for anyone racing long course triathlon or cycling events this summer.
Road bike encouraged. TT bikes permitted.
