Stp?

We are doing the ATP (Auburn to Portland)...the chaos seems to dissipate a bit by the time you get south of Renton. Plus, we get an extra hour of sleep. Some excellent advise above. If you do have a PSV and are doing 1 day, it can be kind of nice to have fresh socks & a jersey at Centralia or Kelso. And +1 on making sure your PSV uses the alternate routes! My driver (aka Mom) is equipped with a Garmin, preloaded w/ directions to casinos & Starbucks along the way.

I'll be riding my Holland Exogrid, and wear my brand-spankin'-new She Loves Hills jersey.

PS...I have my own tandem-buddies' wheel to ride. They are from Cincinnati, so I picked up their packages & mom is transporting their bike boxes + bags to Portland...that's the price I paid to 'buy' their wheel. ;-)
