How long?

[Veronica]

I was just thinking about how long, in terms of seasons, before one can do pretty much anything on a bike.

What do you mean by pretty much anything - centuries? What kind of century? Flat or hilly?

I would think that if you started off in reasonable shape, one could do a fairly flat century (sub 5,000 feet of climbing is my definition of fairly flat) in your first season if you wanted to and trained for it.
