I've been training this spring and for the first time in about four years I believe I am ready for a century! And this is early for me!
How about you?
I will be riding in my first century, the Peninsula Metric on Sunday, June 6th. And my second century will be the following week when I ride in the annual Flying Wheels Summer Century on Saturday, June 12th.
Any one else doing either of these rides?
I'm always amazed how modest you are! Of course you're ready for a century! I'm planning on doing the apple century, but by your standards I might not be "ready" for it. But I'm sure I'll finish it. and I'll probably be pleasantly surprised by the improvement in the time it takes me to finish too....
I second that Sue... I think you are definitely ready for a century. That Peninsula one has a ton of climbing, a little bit too much for me at this point, or else I would join you:) I don't think I'm quite ready for a century yet. Maybe one that was flat, like <3,000 feet. But that's unlikely to find something like that. A few more long distance rides though, and I think I'll be there. They say if you can do 75% of a given ride in your training, than you're ready for the real thing, right?
The Apple Century in Wenatchee is maybe 2000 of climbing max...
That one looks nice, unfortunately I'm working the weekend of the 5th!
