It opens with the STP already filled in (estimated for July until the date is announced), asks about your week and your current fitness, and writes every session. Free account (or start as a guest), no card. You are about 43 weeks out.

The STP course
The ride starts at the University of Washington E-18 Lot in Seattle and finishes in Portland, Oregon, covering 207 miles. Riders choose to finish in one day or two; two-day riders stay overnight around Centralia, between the 100 and 150 mile marks. The organizer rates it Some Hills: a few short, steep hills plus moderate upgrades and gentle climbs.
Race-day conditions
July weather can bring rain, extreme heat or lots of sun, and morning temperatures can differ sharply from midday.
What to train for
One-day riders need long back-to-back endurance rides and a tested fueling plan for 10+ hours in the saddle. Two-day riders should practice riding long on consecutive days so the second day feels manageable.
