Seattle to Portland - 2008
This year's Seattle to Portland Classic had a lot of club members
on the ride along with plenty of others giving support.
|
Total ride distance was 200 miles - over 100 on day one and
members wanted to be off at the crack of dawn.
|
After the first rest stop the day started to warm up
and riders started to spread out along the course.
|
The day was still young though and all were still excited,
especially members doing the STP for the first time.
|
Some non-cycling members followed the group to keep watch,
but others went on to the campsite to setup and prepare dinner.
|
Some members slept in comfort in the offical club sag wagon,
but most roughed it sleeping outside on the ground.
|
On day two, after breaking camp all took off from Centralia to Portland,
which was a shorter distance than day one, but oh so much hotter.
|
With a few rest stops and naps along the way, all made it
to the bridge crossing over into Oregon.
|
It was really starting to get hot though and much water
was needed to get to keep everyone going.
|
Some members made it to Portland easier than others,
but all got there and the finish of another fun STP.
