wow! thanks for all the great info... I received my registration card in the mail on Saturday...

teigyr... I think I fly in to SeaTac... but it's on the 10th (Tues) midmorning...

it's GREAT to know there will be real food... usually 70-80 miles in I need some real food... I did a ride locally last weekend that was 70 miles... it was a first time for this event and the food was minimal... since it was their first event I figured it might be that way and brought Clifshots with me...

that's good to know about the extra porta potties... I skipped a SAG at Solvang one time... and 10 miles later was ducked behind a shrub to take care of business... NOT easy... I NEVER skip SAG's now.

I have one more question... I read in the packet I received that the ride organizers will bring 2 bags to your 1st nights stop... we rented a hotel room at mile 152... do they do this for all riders or only for those who stop at the 100 mile mark? I was planning to get a handlebar bag so I could stuff it with clothes I'd need...

thanks again for all the great input...

There is one truck stop in Kelso at the Hall of Justice, bags should arrive around 3:00 p.m. Saturday. You'll have to pick them up there and then bring them back the next morning for transport into Portland. Cascade has a bunch of info on their website--here's a link to their STP page with lots of info. You may find the ride details link helpful for specifics re: baggage service.

Good luck and have fun!
