Congratulations Old Bikers
He had a goal: To ride the STP (Seattle to Portland) in one day after he turned 60. He did just that last Saturday.
There were 9 riders in his group. One was a 5 foot short woman - she's behind him in the photo above. The youngest was age forty something and the four oldest were 60.
They were on their bicycles by 5 a.m, and all but one had crossed the finish line by 9:30 pm.
Our daughter Amanda and our friend Kim (whose husband also rode) drove the sag vehicles and kept the riders fed and hydrated.
This is the 7th time my husband has completed the 200 mile classic. He and his group added another 3 or 4 miles when they chose to take their lunch break at a park off the route.
He said he's never felt better.
I thought his entry number was poignant. He does look like a 30 - 60. Don't you agree?

I drove that once--does that count? (And when I say drove, I mean I sat on a tour bus while someone else drove...)
Good job.
Great photo with the 3060!!

Even though I actually came over here looking for photos of your birthday male stripper.
You lucky woman!

Reminds me of a few lengthy (and/or exciting) bicycle rides of my own … one I shared recently at Small Reflections as Slice of Life (from Orange County to San Diego, about 100 miles) and a few I’ve not written of (one in Alaska and the other down Haleakala on Maui) that I’ll add to my topic list for some day.
Hugs and blessings,
This was my 7th husband to ride...
Ha!
Congrats to the old biker.
Join me here if you can!
