Great job, Sue! Congrats on being a 1-day rider too - I know how much training, planning and commitment that takes...besides, I think I told you beforehand that there'd be a stretch at the end where it's all psychological as, no matter how great a ride you're having, it's a loooooong day in the saddle! Re: the Longview bridge - I rode the STP for the 1st time in 2-days and so I had the experience of waiting by the bridge to be shepherded in waves across the bridge, with support vehicles in front and behind and being able to take up the whole lane...ahhhh! So, I was not pleasantly surprised when I was rolling along doing it in 1-day the next year. There was a guy drafting my riding partner and me and it was then that I realized we had to dodge the junk on the road, with cars and truckss blowing past us - all on our own...whew! That drafting cyclist was about 6'6, never took a pull and when we signalled that we were pulling over somewhere along hwy 30, he didn't even say thanks as he kept riding...just that he "had needed a rest and you girls did a great job" - hmmmmph!
Congratulations to every one of you STP riders - now veterans! Did you get it out of your system or are you anxiously awaiting 2011 registration??!
