Closing in on the 500 mile mark on the New Ride, what with a few weekend rides, including a half-lake on Seafair Saturday. Crossing I-90 in the midst of the hydros and the crowds anticipating the fighter plane shock and awe show was not a good move. Most of the rest of the miles are commuter trips.
Will I be ready for RSVP? I've got a little over a week, a crazy schedule that includes a trip to Nebraska for a workshop, and meetings that I don't want to attend.
C has booked a room at a hotel with a pool and a hot tub, and I'm looking forward to collapsing in them next Saturday night...

So, which event do you prefer and why? STP or RSVP? The RSVP sounds fun. Perhaps, one day, when I get sick of riding my MTB I'll train for something like this, but only when my feet wear out! :-P
Never done the RSVP before, and that is part of this year's intrigue. STP is relatively flat with 9,000 riders, a big, long rolling peloton and a bit of a circus. RSVP is limited to 1,500 riders, more hilly, better scenery, less support, and supposedly a more leisurely ride. Per my previous post, we'll see how this works out with a serious training deprivation...
