STP: July 16, 2022

The dynamic trio!

This was my 10th STP (Seattle To Portland), but that pales in comparison to my buddy and his daughter: Jon has done 33 STPs and his 34 Y/O daughter has done 25! Yes, she started very early. On top of that, the majority of their rides have been one day events. This was only my third one day, 21 years after my others. It was good to revisit that kind of sufferfest. Actually, the conditions were pretty good, with cool temperatures and smatterings of rain showers. Unfortunately, the majority of our ride was against headwinds. One can’t complain when there wasn’t a flat tire, minor mishap or crash amongst us! Nor did we witness any others (aside from the occasional flat tire) that had problems, so a good day indeed. Rider quote of the day: “I used to like my bike!”
