Mt. Baker Hill Climb
I love a good climb and impulsively signed up for a 22-mile ride a few months ago. It started down the road from our favorite cabin rental in Glacier and ended a few miles past Mt. Baker Ski Area at Artist Point. I’ve driven this beautiful mountain pass so many times and thought it would be a fun challenge to bike it, especially with a large group and zero cars on the road. It was tough but really fun and I stopped to grab a snack at the two aid stations and to snap a few pictures. When I got to the top, I was excited for the ride back down. Was surprised that many took the shuttle down or had stashed their cars at the top.

Snoqualmie gravel
Wanted some solo miles today. First time riding behind the Campbell gates. Rolling hills on good gravel. Didn’t see a single person. Perfect weather, lovely views. Route.

Sturdy Dirty 2024
For last four years, I’ve signed up for the annual Sturdy Dirty Enduro. Its an all-women mountain bike race and its the only one I do. It feels more like a fun group ride and I look forward to it every year.
This year it sold out in 3 minutes, which is wild. Its also the 10th anniversary. It fell on the weekend after my first week back to work; I was still not feeling 100% and didn’t get a chance to pre-ride. 3 of the 4 segments were newly built trails so I race them blind. Can’t wait to ride them again. I still had so much fun even in the heat. Placed 8th in my category.
