The reservations are going on right now for the STP bike ride over July 11-12, 2015. I bought my bib number last week. Is anyone else planning on going? Also I need someone to share drafting with. Otherwise I will go to plan B and ride behind the tandems that I come across.

I'm tentatively doing it in a day but won't know until after Feb 10 when non-Cascade member registration is open.
Thinking more about doing RAGBRAI this year though.

I took out the membership and absorbed the additional cost because I was concerned about the event selling out. But the Cascade Bike Club devotes much of their time/money toward promotion of laws and support of bike issues that benefit all cyclists. Knowledge of that softened the splash of the membership fees.

Be thoughtful and LET THE PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR DRIVEWAYS!!
I usually attend a picker's fest in Winlock and that is a major complaint. In fact, some folks come and camp at the festival who live nearby because they have trouble getting in and out of their driveway due to the STP.
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

RAGBRAI is so fun...used to go through my hometown every few years. Rode a few stints of it, never the whole thing tho. Talk about a party.

Is anyone else going to grind out the miles on Saturday? The weather looks perfect for the outing.

I decided to just do the RSVP this year. IMO it's a better ride than the STP and ends in awesome Vancouver BC.

They must have had a big pot of coffee at their meeting to stay awake for the 1 hour 26 minute session. I will have my bell finger at the ready to chime my presence when crossing the bridge. Thanks for the heads-up.

When the STP goes through Packwood, you can let us know how your community feels about it. Until then, don't speak for other communities based on a few grumblings that you may/may not have heard.
To those participating in the STP, have a great time and stay safe!

I pulled into the chute at ~8:30 PM and got my 1-day patch. The overcast skies helped the riders a lot with the temperature being about 20 degrees cooler than last year's roasting.

congrats
there must have been many riders stressing about the weather over the last few weeks and wondering if they were going to suffer on this weekend.
perfect weather for all involved.

Congratulations Mike. One more of my friends completed the STP again. I lost count of how many of my friends have finished the STP. But all of them have done it multiple years. I lost count how many.
