Ski to Sea, Car-Free

Bellingham’s Ski to Sea is a race that I know perhaps too well, on account of poring over excel sheets for it in 2023 to assess its climatic impacts.

To do so and not be able to race it car-free would be losing sight of the forest for the trees, so taking part with the newly formed Escar-no! for the 51st running seemed an obvious course of action.

During a daring top ten performance (with a whopping ten teams in the division), we encountered rain, broken canoe trailers, mud, and good ol’ fashioned fun. Enjoy your next adventure by bike –the beauty is it can happen from anywhere.

Thanks to Ryan Robie and Melina Avinon for additional footage and photos!
