Will you be doing the metric alone?
I've been doing all of training rides alone. I know when I ride alone that I don't do well at laying back and taking it easy. I definitely need company for that. I'm not riding with anyone, but hopefully I won't be alone. I have no idea how many will sign up for this length. It replaces their old 75 miler; last year there were less than 20 on that ride. Hopefully this will be a more popular choice. It was my suggestion that they make this change so I'm hoping it will be a success!

I generally try to stop about once every hour. On Saturday I stopped at 13, 26, and 35 miles to eat, drink, walk, pee. The rest stops for the metric are at 14, 22, 28, 42, and 55 so that should work out pretty well for me. I don't understand why there's a 22 and a 28; I'm thinking I'd skip the 22 unless I'm having issues.
