    I've done 10 centuries on a hybrid! I started with my Trek7.3fx and upgraded to a 7.7
    My average is about 15mph, and I'm usually able to finish before the shutdown time unless I linger too long at the rest stops. One time we stopped to assist a cyclist that had a bad fall, but the organizers kept the post ride meal available for us. That was nice!

    I've done at least 6 centuries on my Trek FX 7500 as well as a 560 miles aids ride (7 days). The FX7500 (similar to the current 7.5) is a bit lighter than the 7.3 but if you train for a century on the 7.3 it will do wonders for your fitness I'm sure!

    Perhaps swap out the tires for something a bit narrower/smoother?
