Seattle to
Portland
was started in 1979 by the Cascade Bicycle Club. First, it was designed as a race, but in 1981 the format was changed into a recreational ride. The winner of the inaugural race was Jerry Baker from Seattle.

About 2000 riders are able to complete STP in one day, though for the majority of riders that come from all over the United States and Canada, it takes two days to finish. About 30 mi (48 km ) of the route is uphill. The midpoint of the ride is located in Centralia, WA, where there are showers, first aid, bicycle repair, food and drink vendors, live music, and a beer garden. Other foods and drink stops include Seward Park, Tenino, Vader, Goble, and Scappoose.
