STP Day #1

The first day of the STP (Seattle to Portland bike ride) was fantastic.

I was a little worried as I haven’t really trained as much as I wanted, but the weather was perfect — cool and overcast with a little sun in the afternoon, and I made it through the day without any crashes or flats. I probably averaged a little less that 15mph, which isn’t great, but I’m happy with it. 114 miles today, 90 tomorrow!

Lasagna, salad, and an ice cold beer for dinner, and sleeping on a church floor tonight. We’ll see how sore I am in the morning…
