How not to ride a century

[margo49]

I'm doing 3000+ km ride over 3 weeks starting Saturday. I have been in training for several months seriously, but of course preparation (especially mental preparation) started the week after I finished the same ride last year. The final organising of my special drinks and food starts today. It is a really challenging route with some huge climbs, but I am pretty confident.

It was good to read how "not to do your first century" since I just signed up for my first. I have been riding with a bike club all summer and have logged in some decent saddle time. I will remember your tips when I hit the road
