In May of 2012 I started riding my bicycle to work. I used to ride to work many years ago and I've been thinking about starting up again for a couple years - sometimes it takes me me some time thinking about something before I actually do it.
I commuted to work, about 7.5 miles one way, for eight months and then I started thinking that I was something and decided to ride the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic. The total distance is 204 miles.
I started riding other shorter rides in preparation for the STP including the Two-County Double Metric Century which was rainy but still a really nice ride. I rode three different centuries and four or five metric centuries. I think that I prepared well and the STP was very enjoyable.
I was satisfied for about a week and then I started thinking about next year.
I plan to do it in one day next year.
