riding 127 miles is a huge accomplishment! I didn't quite finish STP last year (SAGed from Centralia to lodgings in Winlock and carried on from there the next morning) but I felt elated about what I did manage to accomplish come monday. I also picked up a ton of strategies for this year. I imagine you know what to do differently next year and it will be a breeze!

I bet you hit those rolling hills around vader around the time that the thunderstorm and hail hit? No fun. Whatsoever.
