This kind of exists already in the form of RAW.Originally Posted by colby
They should do a Bicycle Washington tour like Bicycle Idaho and Bicycle Oregon. I suppose you could do your own if you linked STP, RSVP, and this all together

Wanting to do STP, I think!?
I am adding STP to my goal list for 2007. But so many negative thoughts. Is it really that bad? I would be in the two day group, I don't think I could even hope to go that far in one day. A local riding club is getting a group together for next year. I've been getting excited about it, but now I'm not so sure.
Would this ride be to much for a humble dryside person? The biggest I ride I've been on to date would be LRRH. I think there were about 1000 riders . . . and it seemed fairly under control.
The other ride I want to try next year is the Chilly Hilly. Any coments on that? The chilly I can handle. It's the hilly that worries me! bikerHen

See Jim Carson's web page for many ratings of STP ("would you do this ride again?") and you'll get a better idea of people's experiences with it. There are many people who love it and do it year after year.

I'd say that for a lot of us it's really not that bad, it's just "Been there, done that, got the tshirt!" And then there are those who totally love doing it every year and have a big ol' party. Originally Posted by bikerHen
