I am riding the STP this weekend. Basically it is going to be a public display of embarasment. I am stoked but a wee bit scared... 210 miles!

Is anyone else there partaking in the ride?

Cheers!

I did it yesterday... 1 day... 204 miles... 10 hours and 56 minutes... 30 km/h average speed.

Today I am trying to locate my legs! One of the best things that I have ever done!

I rode in a group of 3... but you end up in groups much larger when you are drafting.

My girlfriend drove me to Seattle and thats where I met Chris and Paul. Got dropped off at the start and then she drove to Portland with my buddies girlfriend to volunteer for Whole Foods at the finish line.

Then we drove back!

One of the best experiences of my life!

It is truely a fun event. I slack it up and make it a two day event; stopping at a friend's house along the way for some beer and bbq goods..get up the next day and finish :)

The traffic from the stp is horrible though :)

It runs through the back roads... around 10,000 people!

It was killer... about only a 1/4 finish the first day with the remainder finishing the second day!
