reviving an old thread...

I completed a century ride on Saturday. While I rode every day (20-40 miles, sometimes less, but consistently every day) all summer long, I only managed to ride one 15-mile ride and one 34-mile ride in September for various reasons. However, the century was fine, no problems other than a bit of boredom in the middle. I ate bites of powerbars and granola bars, and drank gatorade throughout the entire ride, stopped at each of the four rest stops for bananas, gatorade, oranges, turkey wraps and pb sandwiches. I've been famished for the last few days, and I'm pretty much eating whatever I want (but good stuff, not junk).

I had a good base, which I think made a difference. The weather was also perfect - overcast and 70s (but a bit windy) - and the terrain was relatively flat.
