19th Annual Northwest Tandem Rally knocks their socks off!
Hosted by the Evergreen Tandem Club and dubbed "Pedalin' Round Puget Sound", the 2004 NWTR was based at St Martin’s College in Lacey, Washington, one hour south of Seattle. A wide variety of routes and rest stop options were available to attendees. The college served as a hub, or “village” for lodging, vendor expo, activities, meals & police escorted mass starts. The 450 teams hailed from across the US and beyond including: Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, Canada, and Switzerland.
The participant’s comments tell the story throughout the website …
You put on pretty much the most organized tandem rally ever. You selected the best speaker - the best banquet - the best ice cream/beer/wine social - the most well marked routes. We got soaked with rain but we had a blast anyway.

Thanks for putting on a great rally. I don't think I've ever been involved in a better-organized large event. Bravo. Even the weather wasn't all that nasty.
