The Mount Baker Bicycle Club would like to invite our North Puget Sound Bike Alliance partner clubs plus all local friends to the first Hidden Gem ride of 2018!

Join us for your choice of 3 routes in Whatcom County outside of Bellingham, where we’ll tour some of the areas around the Lake Whatcom North Shore, Deming, Mosquito Lake area, Sudden Valley, and various quiet northeast county roads.  Some flat,  some hilly, all lovely.

Meet at 9:30 am at Bloedel Donovan Park to split into ride groups,
collect route map, sign waivers, and check in with ride leaders.
Ride departure at 10 am on one of three routes:
