All right the 3 of you- have a great time at it!

Advice regarding centuries- Make it a POINT to drink ONE bottle (minimum) water, drink whatever between rest stops and then drink some more when you get to a rest stop (no need to eat alot- just enough to energize you- remember food in another couple of hours-) If they have sports drink I suggest you dilute it with water in BOTH bottles, yes BOTH! This will keep electrolytes in your body. No need to Bonk ever!!!!!

(Advice from someone who has done 4 centuries this year and so far logged about 2600 miles since Jan 1st- no guy in a diner! )

Have FUN! IF you take care of yourself, then you can talk with people you pass or who pass you- neat bike, great shirt, etc. It makes the ride more of a community effort and you'll love the responses!!!

One last piece of advice- keep drinking AFTER the ride. VERY IMPORTANT!

Let us know how you all do! No hiding out, now!
