58 Miles, blasted by only one commercial sprinkler.
As soon as the psi of the head made it's "hiss", the prepurged liquid got me/my chain/the whole one side of me. I need to look into the local code for those sprinkler systems. Seems as if majority of them are spraying more at people/cars, making murky puddles, more than it's hydrating the landscaping itself.
Stellar! Keep up the long hauls!

48 miles today on a nice warm day. Cycled by the University of Washington where they are preparing for tomorrows Seattle to Portland bicycle ride. Most riders cover the 206 miles in two days but a few do the whole ride in one day. 5500 riders will take part. At its peak they used to have 10,000 riders.

I did STP ONCE!! Two days. Seattle to Castle Rock on Day One and to Portland on Day Two. I had three requests. No heat, no headwind and no rain! Lost on all three. First day it was in the 90's. Woke up the second day and announced to my crowded motel mates, "you won't believe this" It was pouring. Rained most of the way into Portland and there was a headwind. And someone had strewn tacks on the roadway outside of Portland. Lots of folks sitting in the wet grass fixing flats. Yup, ONCE was more than enough! Oh, and I think we were close to that 10,000 riders - "On your left, on your left!!!!" And damn support vehicles always along the road looking for their folks. Then we took Amtrak back to Seattle. Off the train and a super truck rally was just getting out of the King Dome. Topped it off!!

I seriously feel my regime of HMB, beta alanine and Beet Root powder are paying off for this late sexagenarian. Good endurance while keeping the speed over 17 MPH ave.. After doing this kind of ride last year, I would have been whipped but today I felt fine with explosive power when I needed it.

I also did the STP but only once back in 2012. I did the two day and used it as a training ride for the RAMROD later that month. I had three flats before getting to the first rest stop in Kent. The tire was shot so I bought a new tire from the mechanic at an extremely generous discount. He also threw in three tubes for free. When I left Kent there was hardly anyone around. I rode hard to catch up to people and was continuously calling out "on your left".

A fellow RAMRODer! Very cool. Rode it twice, once on my Bianchi and the second on a tandem with a guy friend. We were the first tandem into the park and probably the last one out after getting to Paradise. We did clock 62.5 going down Cayuse which was scary as hell, especially when we passed an RV in our way. Bet they had a tale to tell of being passed by a bicycle.
