If you feel pretty comfortable doing a century, STP one-day isn't that hard to do. The biggest challenge is nutrition and hydration. You can make mistakes on a century and not have them effect you very much in a century, but they may kill you on a double. I had a great first century two years ago and a horrible last 80 miles. Turns out I was down on salt, and was hyponatremic. Nothing like riding by yourself and being miserable for 5 hours.
So, figure that out ahead of time.
As a comparison, STP one day is pretty easy compared to a ride like ramrod, as long as you can pace yourself and not be stupid in the first century.
