Eden- Not a bad idea. Post dinner would be good because no matter how late anyone gets in, we still have to eat!

When it gets closer to the ride date I'll start a post STP dinner thread (or someone else can). That will be loads of fun. Now we'll need some suggestions from our Portland TE gals as to a good place to eat.

I also find the 2nd day more spread out. After Puyallup hill it does seem to get a little less crowded as you said.

What kind of bikes do you all ride? I'm probably going to ride my Scott CR1 (black). Often when I pass someone I look at their bike- always curious as to what others ride! OR at rest stops!
