Just curious what you guys think - since so many of you ride so often. I ride each weekend - sometimes once, sometimes twice - usually somewhere between 15 and 18 miles. I always feel great at the end - could go longer - ride a route that has some good hills (for me). I did a century in 2008 - but haven't ridden more than 20 miles at one time since then. But I've got the experience and gear.

I'd like to sign up for a 45-mile ride in Newport on September 19th. Would this be super tough for me to do? I would have to push myself over the next 3 weeks to get my mileage up there ... but I'd love to do it. They have a 25-mile option which I know I could do now. But I'd love to push it -

what do you all think?
