Mt. Baker Ride Sunday July 27th PNW, Official Thread.

3 weeks and counting... if ya want the badge you have to come. Were going to take lots 'o' pics and going to have an awesome time. Lets get all the gens there, the scenery will provide some great photo ops.

 

Managed to find someone to watch the boys.....plastics come back from the painters this coming Friday....... so that means that the hubby (Tim) and I will be meeting you all at the Tim Hortons in Abbotsford for the big ride to Mt. Baker....Yahoooo!!!

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Cheers!
Emily

 

Sweet Emily, that's great. Are those the RWB plastics with the cool new Honda badge you once mentioned...?

 

UPDATED

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 :bootyshake2:

 

The plastics are BBB (Blue Blue Blue!) and as for the Honda badge I'm still working on it, but it's looking good.....my Repsol racer is talking to the Honda GM this week so I should know next weekend if I will be getting my badges....fingers crossed!

 

Brink that thing to work at STC and I will have regulate mine to the back 40 out of shame.

 

Are ya kiddin' me?! I love the pearl white, I almost painted mine that but I thought that maybe a third Pearly at STC might just be a bit of over kill!

Besides maybe we can see if it can be "VFR Parking Only":smile:

Sorry to here that you won't be coming with us on the 27th....always other rides....see ya out there!

Cheers
Emily

 

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.

 

Hmmm, the 27th you say. Hmmm.

 

Come on. Your in and you know it!

 

Also, for the riders coming from the south, you can take the marine drive exit (exit 199 of i-5) and cruise up that way. Its a nice ride. Takes you through Stanwood. When you get to Highway 20, take a right and then jump on to 9 the rest of the way.

 

Now I'm sniffing around this...

I got my first taste of northern riding last weekend and I'm jonesing to get back up there.:wink:

 

I hope you can make it Seattle, it will a be a great get together and a fun day.

 

I'll be catching the 8:35 ferry in Kingston and arrive in Edmonds at 9:00 if anybody wants to hook up, that should put me in Burlington at 10:00 :clap2:

 

thats great RW! we should be there around 10

Seattle that pic looks like hwy 9 with mnt baker in the back ground hope you can make it

 

this is route i recommend Harley-Davidson - Ride Planner - Shared Ride Plan except i did it back wards start from Burlington then to acme mosquito lake rd to maple falls and on to baker nice rural Winding rd with no traffic. i v done this rout its a nicer ride than hwy 9 southerners on way back can take more direct route(hwy) if they want and northerners can take silver lake rd back another alternative route gets ya to the same place just more senic and less traffic with a few more twisties

 

I like it chomp, looks like more fun. Link worked great.

I added the new map and link to the first post. Thanks man.

 

Looking forward to this. Haven't been up Baker for 20 years!

C'mon PNWs...looks like it's mostly canucks so far, eh

 

Coming to get my Mt. Baker badge!

This ride looks like it'll be a lot of fun. I think I'll add to the CDN clan from the great white north if you'll have me. Everyone needs to make sure they bring birth certificates etc if you don't have a passport...

See you at Timmy's....

 

I expected there would be more Canucks than Washington riders, the local 4g riders bikes hardly ever leave their garage unless it's a quick trip in full leathers to Starbucks :tongue:

Here's a couple more pics from the last 10 miles to Mt.Baker ​
