Bikerchick - riding a century is on my list of goals for next year. I'm still trying to work out my saddle and tailbone issues. **Whispering*** Don't tell anyone, but if I can do back to back centuries I'll be ready for my first 24 solo mountain bike race, which is my REAL goal for the end of July 2006! I think about it every day so I need to figure out how to train for such an event. Any ideas where to start looking?
