Brian, I want to do the STP in one day myself (2008 Seattle-To-Portland), and was wondering what type of bike would be ok for it? I mean, assuming that I get a good, comfortable, bike fit for long distance riding, and I follow the schedule for a double century ride, would it be possible to do it in one day on say, a touring bike? or a cyclocross bike?
