Thanks for sharing. I live in Seattle too and did the 2 day STP for the first time this year. I enjoyed the ride and will try to do the one day STP next year. I also did day 2 portion of RSVP and thought it was a much more enjoyable ride and more scenic; riding with 10,000 other riders was a bit crazy.
Yea I agree riding with 10,000 other people is a bit crazy - that's another reason I like to ride it in one day. I've heard good things about RSVP but by late Aug I usually move on to other activities...
