Bicyclists Coming this Way for Annual STP Ride
Thousands of bicyclists will pour into the Lewis County area today for the 39th annual Kaiser Permanente STP presented by Alaska Airlines.
Some of the riders make the entire trip from Seattle to Portland in one day, but others complete the ride on Sunday.
Key midpoint stops are Centralia College and Recreation Park, Chehalis.
The Centralia-Chehalis Chamber of Commerce organizes meals, private housing and entertainment for the riders.
More information on the STP can be found at cascadebicycleclub.org.
