Steve (and 10,000 other cyclists) rode from Seattle to Portland on their road bikes. Some of the riders chose to ride it in two days, 100 miles each day. But Steve along with some of his friends and 2500 others rode it in one day. They left downtown Seattle at 4:45 a.m. Vicky and I were the Support Posse. We met them at the 100 mile mark for a brief stop then headed to Portland and the finish line. Steve loves cycling and enjoys the competition. I know he trains and is good but we were all surprised to see him come in #4 out of all those cyclists! It was really exciting and he didn't even act tired when he got in. WOO HOO good job Steve!
This was taken just as he finished the 204 miles . . . . . doesn't he look great! As you can see behind him, there is no one else there yet except volunteers. I still can't believe how far he was ahead of most of the people who rode. I am proud of you!
