STP Training Ride #1: Parkrose/Sumner TC to Panera Out and Back

Description

You do not need to be a PBC member. This ride is open to anyone who wants to get ready for the next edition of the famous Seattle-to-Portland bike ride, which will be held on July 11-12 this year. On-line signup is available—even to non-members.

Please arrive 15 minutes early to allow for sign-up/check-in. Cue sheets will be available if requested a day in advance. This is a short ride, so we will ride, rain or shine. Ice or snow, on the other hand.... Due to the short distance (approx 10 miles out and 10 back after a rest stop) and depending on the group, we may push the 13-15 mile pace a bit.

The Portland Bicycling Club has taken this ride many times. We will be stopping for coffee at Panera at Jantzen Beach.

I intend for this to be a group ride, but if some riders want to go faster, I would treat that part as a non-group ride. The faster riders may proceed at their own pace.
