My wife and I rode our first STP this year, in two days. The heat was more than we expected, but we made it through. Vader for the overnight (about 125 miles), then on to Portland on Sunday. Major Kudos to the ladies at the Vader Lions Club, they made it a wonderful overnight stop.

Not so many kudos to the Portland Wheelmen on packing the bikes in the rental trucks to ship them to Seattle Friday. I'm sure I am in the minority, but I spent part of Friday night fixing shipping damage. Nothing major, but still annoying.

May have to try this as a one day ride next time.
