I was reminded of a good tip for the STP tonight as my bike squeaked away during a quick 12-mile ride through Graham.
If you are planning to ride the STP, get your bike tuned up at least 6 weeks in advance.
With 9,000 riders in the event, bike shops all over the the Puget Sound are slammed with tune up and repair requests the month and a half before the ride.
