ClimbingBiker,

If you are truly a climber, you'll find STP to be a piece of cake. It's amazingly flat for such a long ride. Not to say it *is* flat, but there are no real climbs either, save a one-mile-ish hill around mile 40 or 50.

I've done STP 3 times. In 2 days on my single, in 2 days on a tandem, and in 1 day on a tandem. If I were ever to do it again, I would try for one day on the single.

You will be amazed by the variety of people riding. And believe me, no matter how slow you might *think* you are, there will be oodles slower. So have no fear about being out there all alone. In fact, after riding in such close quarters with so many others, youll be wishing for a little space to call your own.

Have a WONDERFUL time!

Susan
