Hi everyone-- I could use your advice/opinions--

I have been riding a year (road) and there is a metric century coming up locally for the red cross - an organized and supported ride--

I am reasonably regularly doing 40 miles, although sometime I bonk, primarily from poor nutrition I think-- and there is the option of a 33 mile ride also at the same event.

what do you guys think? 33 or 62 miles (metric century)?
am I just setting myself up to fail in the hot and sticky Florida heat trying 62 miles (with a couple of friends) and should just do the 33?

it's a pity there isnt a 50 mile option - but it's either 33 or 62 - any advice/input very gratefully received!
