I think you could probably do a double; they're a lot easier than they sound. At first, 200 miles sounds like a huge distance but once you've done it a few times it seems quite manageable and really, not that tough. From where you live, the Single Day STP (Seattle to Portland) would be an excellent first double for you. Not too much climbing, a huge amount of daylight hours and wonderful support. Think about it!
