P2P is a wacky and tough bike ride that will have you grinning through clenched teeth.
It's a perfect balance of humor and agony, camaraderie and challenge;
set on bucolic country roads in the heart of Puget Sound.
It's the most fun you've had thrashing yourself on a bike!
Four courses, from 12 to 80 miles, with 800 to 10,000 feet of vertical:
The Granny, The Weenie, The Weasel, and The Idiot.
Grab a snack, wet your whistle, and get your Passport stamped
at up to 20 intriguing, silly, and just plain weird Checkpoints along the way.
Get to know other riders as you glide down and labor up Vashon Island's
short but notoriously steep hills.
Be half a Weenie or a complete Idiot, but don't miss the big party at the end!

Last year Gary Yngve wore a couple of helmet cams when he rode The Idiot. He edited this 10-minute video that'll give you a feel for his P2P.
P2P is the twisted brainchild of some of us in the Vashon Island Rowing Club who thought we could turn our nasty, brutish off-season training rides into a way to increase financial aid for our Junior rowers and help maintain our boats. Surely there were others out there who enjoyed this ... sort of thing?
