I’ve never ridden a century. Never. The longest day was 93 miles in heat and high humidity at a much younger age. Fifty seems to be my current limit, but a century is still on the ol’ bucket list.

David Feidler of Ask.Com does have some sound thoughts about how to execute a century, thoughts that would apply to any long ride. He says: start early, pace yourself, eat a lot, drink a lot, eat a good lunch and try to savor the experience. It’s worth reading and bookmarking his post.
