I did the STTS in 2014. I was surprised by the volume and rudeness of car traffic on the rural roads in central CA. Make sure you have a mirror to see what is coming up behind you! The ride was fun with a good group of people. Fairly well organized, they have been doing this ride for a number of years. The first two days route is new this year and looks fun, maybe the roads will be quieter. I had to sign up and do Cycle Oregon later that summer to get the bad vibe out of my system after that week of kamikaze traffic in CA. There are many more cyclists on CO (about 2000) but the roads are MUCH less travelled and for the most part drivers are more respectful of cyclists up north. The few times that cars actually moved over to give space on the STTS ride they almost always had WA or OR plates! It's Cycle Oregon for me from now on...
