ROAD TO ARTIST POINT WON'T OPEN THIS YEAR

Story in the B'ham Herald yesterday says that there's so much snow at Artist Point (and on the last few miles of road leading up to it) that they're not even going to attempt to plow it this year. (Read it here.) This adds a whole new twist to September's Mount Baker Hill Climb (Ride 542). Perhaps turn it into a multi-sport event: road biking to Austin Pass, then snowshoeing for the last 2 miles and 600 feet of climbing to Artist Point. And as long as you've got the snowshoes on, might as well make it a race to the top of Table Mountain. 

Seriously, this has got to be a bummer for RD Charlie Heggem. Chances are though, he'll come up with something. Stay tuned ...
