A century is a 100 mile ride, I think, which I gleaned from my last year of reading Bicycling magazine. I've never ridden one, so don't go by me!

I have yet to be clear on what a peleton is, but I think I've figured out it's Italian for "pack" or "group".

It is rather difficult to figure out the lingo. I learned a lot from Sheldon Brown's site. A good glossary would be great!
