I'm a very new rider, just purchased a road bike in March. I plan on doing about 70 miles of an upcoming century ride and will be by myself most of the day (husband is doing the full 105 miles).

My question is about bathroom breaks. I'm sure I can wait until I reach a planned and manned rest stop. I'm thinking these stops will have portable toilets, but I could be wrong (this is a LiveStrong Challange Century). If they do have toilets, how do I secure my bike if I'm on the ride by myself?

Do you think there will be volunteers who would watch my bike? I would hate to have to lock it up just for a quick pit stop.

Such a silly question, but it's been on my mind. Thanks for any info you can share.
