“The Toughest 'Fun Ride' in Puget Sound”
P2P is an event with a unique combination of intense physical challenge, adventure, fun and camaraderie in a beautiful setting ‒ an event that participants remember and share, especially online.
What makes P2P different from other rides? We pride ourselves on making the experience feel like a party on wheels!
In a "normal" year, our dedicated team of volunteers, including many junior rowers, greet riders at each of our 18 checkpoints, the Sandwich Stop and the finish area – all of which are sponsored. Wearing costumes and providing comedic relief, they stand ready to collect clothing, stamp passports and provide refreshments.
This year, our riders will be seeing how many vertical feet they can ride in one day, between Saturday, September 12th and the end of the month, on hills near their home. They will be challenging their friends, wherever they may be in the world, to ride "with" them
Most major bike rides have been cancelled this year, so cyclists are itching for something to train for. The Virtual P2P gives them a goal. And the fact that riders don't have to come to Vashon Island to participate means that our reach can be much broader.
P2P has been around for nine years -- this would have been our 10th ride, the Decade of Pain -- but we're saving that for next year. Riders know this ride, even if they haven't done it yet. It's on every serious cyclist's list.
Our advertisers are associated with an event that promotes fitness and camaraderie, and is well-supported by the Vashon community. We are grateful to all of them -- to all of you -- for making P2P a success.
