If you're riding STP this year and need to get from Portland to Seattle on Friday, the
Portland Wheelmen offers transportation for you and your bike. You will ride on a luxurious motor coach, and your bike will be wrapped in moving blankets and loaded on a truck. You and your bike will arrive at the UW dorms by 2:00.

What is the train ride cost to Seattle, what is it like to ride the train, can you get up and walk around to fetch a coffee, snack?

Must your bicycle be box packed, or are there bicycle Train cars, to make it easy to ride to REI, or the University Dorms upon arrival at Seattle train station?

I don't know anything about the train. I suggest you check with Amtrak.

I'm the Friday Bus coordinator for the Portland wheelmen. We offer luxury motor coach transport for you and a truck for your bike. We take you directly to the UW dorms.

10speedBill,

Thanks, last time I took the bus, it dropped me off at the Seattle train station during the Friday commute hour, and I had to ride to REI to secure a late night arrival ride packet, and then over to the University Dorms. That was not a fun time, as there was little room, understanding or space allowed/given by road rage frustrated truck and car drivers.

Friday there is a 8: am bus and last bus is 10: am will there be a 9: am bus?

I will take the bus again this time since it goes directly to Dorms, and I will not need to ride from Seattle Train Station to the University Dorms.

There are 5 busses and 5 trucks. We load one truck and bus pair at a time and leave when they are full, not a scheduled departure time. We start loading at 8:00, and the last bus leaves at 10:00.
