If you can ride 100 miles without undue stress, then I'd say go for it! The average grade is 1%. I don't consider myself a climber. You do see the hills but overall it is still flat with no steep sections. As Veronica indicates ... you get no breaks due to this ... which is why I said in my original post that it is an exercise in pacing and nutrition. It is very easy to hammer at the start but 100 miles later you still have 60 miles to go and you're spent. It would be a great learning experience. I would recommend that you have your own support crew. My husband does support and he loves it. He calls us all psycho-cyclists!Seeing this, I'm wondering if we could shoot for RAIN this year????!?!?!?!?

Try not. Do or do not... there is no try.
