I do a ride called RAW put on by the Cascade Bike club. Someone once called it summer camp for adults lol. No computers and very little cell phone for a week. A great getaway.

A few of us from that ride are going to do a 1-day STP this year (Seattle to Portland, 206 miles).

Nice! My wife's brother lives near Seattle and she was there during last years STP ride and participated for about 60 miles one day.

We're doing Glacier to Yellowstone in July. ~360 miles, 20,800ft climbing. I'm slightly concerned being from FL. lol

That will be a great trip. Have you ever been to Glacier? A lot of climbing, with the training you are doing you will be fine. The altitude will be the big difference. The roads were made for cars that couldn't climb steep hills, so that will help.

We expect to see some great pics from your trip.
