STP: Century and Then Some

stp

I finally cracked the 100 mile mark on the bike last weekend as me and Team PBDH took to the roads for the summer classic known as STP (Seattle to Portland). It’s 200 miles in two days and it’s both a challenging double century and a rolling bike party with 9000 participants all at the same time. We actually went well beyond the century mark our first day and added 36 more miles before rolling into the Castle Rock high school in southern Washington late Saturday afternoon. 136 miles in a single day!

I’ll finish this story over at a new blog fellow teammate Dave Cole and I are starting called Velotopia. It’s a website for people who ride bikes and we think it’s going to be pretty neat. We haven’t officially launched it yet so consider this a sneak peek for LookatLao readers.

See plenty of STP photos in the Velotopia Gallery too!

Thanks Kevin. There’s a lot to do still: bugs, tweaks, missing funtions, etc. Hope to have it running on full speed by next week.

You back racing yet?

I didn’t realize hobos rode bicycles. Looks nifty. Some wackiness on Firefox on the PC. Such is life.
