That was my initial plan was to complete a metric next year with a full century the following one. I just want to make sure that I'll actually be able to complete the metric. I wasn't sure that just riding longer and longer distances would actually get me there. I keep reading all this stuff about how you have a plan etc and I haven't really had one. I've just been riding and trying to go a little farther each time. Maybe that actually is a plan?

I don't think you have to have a specific plan for a metric. I just did my first metric century last weekend without a "plan". All I did was increase the number of days I was riding to 3 times a week and I started riding hills for strength. I also made sure to get a ride or two in over 40 miles and one over 50 miles. That way I felt I should be able to do 62 (100K). I was pretty beat at the end of the ride so I would imagine doing a full century would require a bit more training and planning. I'm about 25-30 pounds overweight so it's not like I'm super fit. So if I can do it you can too. Good luck to you! You can do it.
