STP 101 — Info Session

Description

Are you considering taking on the Pacific Northwest challenge that is STP? This is an opportunity to get answers to all your questions! Everyone is welcome on STP, and we want to help you prepare with expert advice. This "Prep for STP" session is open to club members and non-members.

Please join us at an orientation class to preview the 207-mile Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic presented by Alaska Airlines with an engaging slide presentation taking you from the start line to the finish line festival. This information-packed class is aimed at first-time and returning STP riders who have a lot of questions about how to prepare and what to expect on the event weekend. Cascade Bicycle Club staff Shannon Mangan will be joined by STP ambassador Dan Shryock to share tips on preparing, eating, training, packing, resources, ride logistics, and more. You’ll see how Cascade and community volunteers are out there to help you succeed, and why Bicycling Magazine has listed STP as one of the best cycling events in the nation.

There's no cost to attend, but you MUST register in advance as seats at the Hi-Top Tavern are limited: https://cascade.org/register/89067
Food and drinks can be ordered at the bar (not included).
