I've never done the STP as I'm not a huge fan of riding in a Peloton. I am sure it's a great race. Have fun. Make sure you have your spare tubes (if you use tubes), and I would invest in a proper riding bib. chafing could be a problem if it's hot. Also I would suggest getting some of those energy packets with B12 and caffeine if you can handle it. I notice a big jump in endurance with them.
I did this ride with my son several years ago (2022), it was a blast. Good recap, I’m with you about having a mattress; we did camp in Centralia. Ride On!

I'll be writing about cycling bibs, chamois, and more in coming weeks.
Did this ride with my wife in 2014. So much fun. A lot of riders, great support and food stops.

The excitement builds. I intend get some saddle training in tomorrow!
