Name: Birmingham Bakers Dozen
Start: 2025-03-08T08:00:00-06:00
Location: Domestique - Satellite

Join us for the 2025 Baker's Dozen on March 8th as we tackle the 13 tallest and toughest hills in Birmingham!
Registration starts at 8:00 a.m. at Domestique Satellite and we will roll out at 9:00 a.m. to make our way to first hill.
We will ride together to each hill then race to the top!
We will have coffee courtesy of Domestique before the ride and lunch and after party at Avondale Brewing.
The route will be the same as last year (why change it if it works). https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41870257
We have also added a Spectator Route this year so if you want to ride but not participate. Brenann Ward will lead the spectators so you don't do any unnesecary climbing. Spectator registration will also include coffee in the morning at Domestique and lunch at Avondale after the ride. Some hill climbing is inevitable but is significantly less.
