STP, baby!
200 miles in two days, from Seattle to Portland by bicycle. I. Am. Pooped. But for a fat old man, I'm pretty proud of the accomplishment. Sunrise over Lake Washington, and early morning in the farmlands of Lewis and Cowlitz Counties is pretty special. So nice, in fact, it should come later in the day so more people can enjoy it.

1. Very impressive,! Congrats!
Just saw your message and wanted to commend you on your accomplishment. What's your next destination? You have seen some remarkable scenery, that's for sure. Beautiful part of WA, not fully appreciated from a moving car speeding along I-5.

Do you mind if I PM you? Have a question I'd just as soon others not read.

I admire and commend you on such an amazing feat!

3. Not at all
I'm an equal opportunity crashing bore, either in the forums or in PM.

2. Pour yourself a stiff one, you deserve it
Unless of course you are a recovering alcoholic like myself. :P

I never made it past about 40 miles in a single day. That was very tough, I might add.

I've always dreamed of doing a long, long bike ride that takes me all the way into another county.

How are you getting back to Seattle, and how are you transporting your bike for the return trip?
