What is it?
24.5 miles of the best road climb in Washington State.  4,300 feet of climbing.  A true test of your season end fitness.  Although the overall records stand at 1:27:04 for men and 1:39:12 for women, most people ride for the accomplishment and to challenge themselves.  Set your own personal record and chase it every year.

Why do we do it?
Raise funds to help Whatcom County cancer patients through the Laurendeau Foundation and the Community Cancer Center at St Joseph Hospital.  This ride helped the Ken Meyer Memorial Foundation raise $8000.00 in 2004, doubling our contribution from 2003.  Help us continue to support cancer care  in 2005.

When is it?:
Sunday September 18, 2005

Where is it?
Registration will be at Milano's restaurant in downtown Glacier.  The community of Glacier has been kind in hosting this event, please help out by carpooling and respecting the quiet nature of the town.  Parking is tight and your cooperation is necessary.  Glacier is approximately 30 miles east of I-5 on Highway 542.  From north or south I-5, take the Sunset Drive exit in Bellingham and head east.  You can't miss us in Glacier.
