I am new to this sight but loving the wealth of information I have already obtained. I am currently trying to get myself in great shape for a 60 mile ride on June 3rd. I go to the gym 3 - 4 times per week and ride the exercise bike 15 miles each time in addition to lifting weights. I mainly ride my bicycle on the weekends: long treks 38 miles, 24 miles. This Saturday I plan on biking 40 miles. The weather here in Western Pa has been horrible for the last 10 days.

I am interested in doing a Century in my area "Mount Davis Century" but have never even thought of doing this before. My questions is: Are Centuries for professionals on fast road bikes. I have a Cannondale Hybrid, I use for both rails to Trails and paved roads. Will most of the bicyclers be flying at great speeds? Am I out of my league? Should I wait until I am better than an amatuer. If not, how can I prepare myself for this venture? Any advice would be appreciated.
