Fried Legs!

squeaky - lol @ dh picking up parts!

Now, now, we really don't want that to be necessary!

Ok, so me personally, and it is hardly a rule or mandate, just what I do....I will do a century provided I am doing over 100 miles over a week *and* at least one ride over 60 miles.

If I couldn't do the above, then a century would not be in my plans.

Also I have to say, whatever event I would be doing, I would train on the bike that I plan to do the ride on. So if it were an off-road event, I'd ride the MTB, and vice-versa. Your body may be a bit shocked spending 6-7 hours on a bike for the century, a bike that you ride infrequently and nowhere near as long~

I used to subscribe to the 'it has to hurt'/'no pain no gain' school of thought. No more. If I am sore, then I don't ride or if I do, I'll go at a super easy, slow pace. You can't get better if you are still recovering
