As this is my first bike(Cannondale Topstone 3) it really felt well. Had a little discomfort with saddle but end of day it was ok to manage. I am gonna use this bike as 60% road bike and 40% of gravel bike. I am going to use this bike for STP (Seattle to Portland).
And I am little confused to use the gears anyone had any suggestions to better my bike riding experience in the future please let me know. Thank You in advance!!

Re the gears, just find a comfortable cadence and go with that. If it becomes too hard (cadence drops/effort increases), downshift. Too easy, upshift. Find bike friends to ride with.
If you are that new join the Cascade club. They have an STP prep series that you could join, but also great conversation with other riders to learn nutrition, hydration which are just if not more important than actually having the right bike.
