As you ride, please use common sense and courtesy. Ride safely and legally; wear your helmet at all times. State laws require that cyclists ride no more than two abreast, and are respon-sible for observing the rules of the road. We recommend riding SINGLE FILE as much as possible. Do not draft in a pace line without permission. Remember, this is not a race and riding Single File is Safer. All riders need to observe ALL traffic regulations. All roads are open to vehicle traffic. Please do not litter!

Support: Volunteers in support vehicles are equipped with phones, first aid kits and bicycle racks. Medically trained volunteers in RED jerseys will be riding the route to provide assessment and first aid. The Major Food stops will have first aid volunteers. If you have a mechanical or medical situation that prevents you from continuing our STP road support will transport you to the nearest STP rest stop for services. If you are still unable to continue you will need to make your own transportation arrangements. STP support cars do not transport riders to hospitals or other areas.

Members of the Gold Wing Touring Association will be on the road equipped with cell phones and first aid kits. Give them a big thumbs-up if you are okay or a thumbs-down if you need help.

STP will have a "Safety Patrol" on motorcycles issuing STP tickets to riders who fail to obey the rules of the road!

Ride SMART Tips

Stay alert–watch for obstacles, other cars, and other riders.Move off the road when stopping –pull completely off the road to let cars and riders pass; do not block driveways or intersections.Act like a car –obey all traffic laws and stop at stop signs.Retain space between yourself and others –leave enough room to dodge obstacles.Tell others when passing and pass on left.

FUEL• Drink before you are thirsty• Eat small amounts frequently before you are hungry• The food stops will have high energy 'Ride Food" that is de-

signed to keep you going but is not suppose to be a meal. If you have special food needs you will need to make your own arragements.

Course Notes, UW Start Line to Lake Washington: On your mark, get set... (bang!) and we're off, passing the UW hospital, crossing the Ship Canal on the University Bridge, turning left on Fuhrman St. and ascending a gentle hill on Boyer Ave East. Caution, tight traffic circle at 26th and Boyer. One half mile after crossing East Madison, two hairpin/switchback corners with rough pavement require extreme caution.

Mile 4.7 to 25.4 – Seattle to Kent

Course Notes: Having burned a few too many calories in the infamous “Blaze of Glory” during the first few miles, we now settle into a more reasonable cadence and continue southbound along Lake Washington Blvd. Shortly the street name will change from Lake Washington Blvd. E to Lakeside Ave. E, and then back to Lake Washington Blvd. E after about a mile. Proceed south past the Seafair hydroplane pits to Seward Park (the first Ministop on you left). A short steep hill (Juneau St.) is on your right, but never fear, it’s only one block long, followed by a gentler half-mile hill.. Continue through Renton to the first Free Foodstop - REI headquarters at West Valley Highway (68th Ave. S.) and 228th Street. Loaded with goodies provided by REI.

Passengers will board chartered buses with there bags at the same location starting at 12:30 p.m. Buses will depart for the University of Washington start line as they are filled. For those who elect to spend the night in Portland, one truck will be designated to load bikes on Sunday for a Mon-day delivery to the University of Washington.
