What to Eat on a Century Ride?

[nikkoblu2]

I can't answer if you are pushing for speed, but having done several centuries, or century+ rides which last an average of 6 hours each start to finish.

OMG! Six hours isn't pushing for speed??? Thank you, NYbiker for saying that it takes you closer to 9 hours to do a century.

God bless you Marni if you're doing it in 6 and not pushing for speed.

I rode 48 level miles yesterday (24 into a headwind) on my new road bike - it was 3:30 of actual ride time and the entire ride took 4:10. I wasn't really going for speed, but I don't think I could have gone much faster if I wanted to.

I know I completely deterred from the thought of this original post...sorry about that.
