Join us for the 2026 Baker's Dozen on March 1st as we tackle the 13 tallest and toughest hills in Birmingham!Registration starts at 8:00 a.m. at Domestique HQ in Lakeview and we will roll out at 9:00 a.m. to make our way to first hill.
Brian Toone will lead the ride and we will ride together to each hill then race to the top!
We will have coffee courtesy of Domestique before the ride and lunch after.
The route will be the same as last year (why change it if it works). https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41870257
We have a Spectator Route so if you want to ride to cheer on our friends but not participate. Ben Griner will lead the spectators so you don't do any unnecessary climbing. Spectator registration will also include coffee in the morning at Domestique and lunch after the ride. Some hill climbing is inevitable but is significantly less.
