READ THE FULL STP — SEATTLE TO PORTLAND REVIEW →
206 miles, Seattle to Portland, one or two days.
STP covers 206 miles of flat to gently rolling paved roads from Seattle to Portland, completed in one long day or split over two with an overnight stop in Centralia. The demand is sustained saddle time and pacing across the distance, not technical terrain — 5,100 feet of climbing is nearly incidental.
For the rider with only six weeks left and five to nine hours a week, this rescue plan keeps the work most likely to matter at STP — Seattle to Portland: the endurance and pacing the 206-mile distance demands. It makes purposeful use of current fitness without claiming to replace lost months.

Hey, I'm Matti. I spent 11 years at TrainingPeaks, where they trusted me to teach coaches how to coach at TrainingPeaks University. I raced Amateur Elite with Rio Grande Cycling Team and podiumed my age group at Unbound 200 in 2026. I have a degree in biology and exercise physiology from St. Olaf. I'm also a middle-aged dad of three, so I know training doesn't happen in a vacuum. I help gravel riders get stupidly fast without becoming the person who brings a food scale to a party
