    Oh, you meant eight hours total! You were much faster than us. We didn't get into Centrailia until after 5. That was 8+ hours on the bike and 4 hours standing in line at the porta potties. That creamsickle was indeed quite delicious.

    Ooops...ok, the 8 hours ride time was just time spent on the bike. We got out in the first wave of riders right at 4:45, so I guess my grand total time was ~9 hours. I didn't stop for very long at the rest stops because I was afraid I wouldn't get back on the bike! Plus, the longer I stop the worse my legs feel when I start again. My average was 12.4.

    There were lines at the porta-potties? I got right in when I needed to. Even though they put the ones at Spanaway all the way across the back 40... Or maybe I didn't drink enough...I only had to go two times the whole 100 miles!

    We made it all the way to Castle Rock on Saturday and finished on Sunday with just under 14 1/2 hours ride time total. I was very pleased for my first STP. It was perfect except for that heat. I'm glad it's behind me though.
