I'm super nervous.
So, I'm going to be riding 74 miles tomorrow.

I've never even ridden a metric century before. So I'm a little nervous. I've ridden 50 miles on my own, in the wind, and at the end of it thought, "Huh, i could maybe suffer for another 24 miles at a godawfully slow pace."

This is also a really popular ride, so I'll be surrounded by lots of people. I'm tiny enough that I can draft off of anyone if they'll let me. I've been on 30 miles rides in groups where you can definitely notice the difference in recovery and endurance. So, if I can suffer for 50 miles on my own I should be able to push through 74 while in a sea of bodies and bikes, right?

I dunno. I'm terrified.
