STP - Anyone else sign up today?

[cuttercoasty]

I just signed up for my first STP today.

I have not done this ride before; actually never have done any organized rides. I look forward to it as I have always wanted to do this ride since I heard about it 10 years ago.

Anyone know how the accommodations are for the half way point in Centrailia? Specifically is there an issue getting a camp site on the grounds? Enough room to throw a tent up and call it good?

I'm finally back in the US after a long 14 months overseas. Would like to find a few people to go on some training rides with. I am a novice biker and want to get into it more.

Congrats on signing up for STP cuttercoasty! Check online at the Cascade Bike Club website, they have a link to the lodging at the mid-way point. There are several options, bunking in a school, camping or lodging with families in the area. I am sure you won't have any issues finding a camp site around there.

I think there are clubs over in your area, maybe also check for links on Cascade.

Good luck with your training, just ride, ride, ride. Then ride some more.

STP just sold out today! I don't know if that is a record, but it's got to be close. Glad I didn't drag my feet on getting DH and I signed up this year!

So glad I signed up when I did! I almost waited until I got back from this trip I am stuck doing. Look forward to taking the ride

Wow, I am not sure either, but that does seem early to me too! Good luck with training everyone! Hope the weather cooperates a bit more than it did last year. We sure had an awful spring in 2011, really hampered our training efforts.

Bike season kicks off with Chilly Hilly this weekend! It snowed on us last year, and it looks like more of the same on Sunday. Rats. We signed up though, maybe the forecast will change by then??

I have used the indoor camping option at Centralia the last three times and have congratulated myself upon it more than once when I got up and went to breakfast and saw everybody struggling with wet camping gear. The outdoor camping is free, but it is first come, first served, and seems to fill up quickly. You can definitely throw a tent up and call it good.
