The Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic is this weekend Saturday, July 11th and 12th.  10,000 bicycle riders will make the 205 mile journey from Seattle down to Portland, Oregon.  Many ride all 205 miles in one day, but the majority of bike riders do it in two days.

The STP is organized and operated by the Cascade Bicycle Club in Seattle as its annual fund raiser.  Cascade Bicycle Club is one of the biggest bike clubs in the country and does lots of great things for the community.  CBC sponsors great local bicycle tours like the STP and Ride Around Washington every year.  it also educates kids and adults on all types of bicycle safety related information, advocates for greater bicycle access to local roadways, and much more.

With thousands of bike riders on the roads this weekend please be very careful if driving on the STP route.  Bicycle riders in large packs can sometimes be a little spontaneous, so be on the lookout for bikes passing other bikes.

To all you STP riders, have fun and ride safe!
