Seattle to Portland
We did it!
This was my third time riding the STP, and my second to do it in only 1 day. As one of my fortieth birthday wishes I asked Tina to do the STP with me again in one day. We worked with our cycling coach Lang to work the training in along with our XC race training, and he did a great job with our prep.
Tina was definitely worried that it we wouldn’t make it, and thanks to various circumstances the longest ride we made in preparation was a 70 mile ride on flying wheels! So STP was our first and second century of the year.
