10% rule? Does it apply to biking? And...could I do a metric century this summer?

Teawoman,


One thing I'm confused about is your mention of the 30k long ride. Um, do you mean that once you start riding with the groups that your long ride for the week will be 30k? If so, then that could be a problem. You would need to find a way to fit in increasingly longer rides to build up to the 100k.

No, I mean that they do some beginner rides starting at 30k on weekends. They do some 50ks as well. They actually have rides up to 100k for intermediate riders, but I can't do them yet. Those guys are FAST

Kat H: Yes, it is supported. It's actually run by my club and they bill this as a recreational cyclist-friendly ride. It's quite a big event.

Thanks everybody! This is encouraging so far.
