July 11 and 12, 2009, was the weekend of the annual Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic. This was my second time riding the STP with 2008 being my first year. This year afforded me some results that were my personal best. On Saturday I rode my fastest century (100 miles) I have ever ridden: five hours and twenty minutes. Saturday was also the farthest distance I have ever ridden: 150 miles. Sunday was rather uneventful but I did complete the remaining 58 miles of the ride in about three and a half hours. I crossed the finishline at about 12:15pm. This year we had three of the four guys riding with me finish the entire ride, as opposed to last year when I was the only one that finished the entire ride. I think I will try a one day ride next year, if I can train much more than I did for the ride this year. I had a five week break from cycling which ended about three weeks ago due to work and vacation traveling. I was very nervous going into this weekend that I had not trained enough.
