Hey Susan - yes, you're right in that you shouldn't have any problem transferring your registration. The STP usually doesn't max out on riders, but many people wait until the last minute and find it easier to see if anyone wants to sell their registration and or hotel/lodging packaged together. The Cascade message board will be active in the 'for sale' area closer in to July and be aware that Cascade usually charges a $10 transfer fee now (so that the new rider can ride under their own name and not get mistaken for you, in case they have a mishap, etc) but it's all pretty easy to do.

And re: the Apple Century ride - yes, I've done the ride about 5 times and it's well-supported and a nice route. Pretty much an out n' back up to either the Fish Hatchery for the 50 mile route and further up that same route to the turnaround for the century route at Silver Falls. Both the initial leg out and return are on the trail along the Wenatchee river and also on hwy 97, which has a good shoulder and can get pretty windy, but most of the ride is on a low traffic road up the Entiat River valley...it's a pull on the outbound with a steady grade but has, as a previous post noted, some great fun on the downhills in return and nothing gnarly at all.
Have fun!
