    Once a Month I devoted for Century ride and @ the overall tips agree. The one thing that hit me most of the times is Head on winds sometimes the force is monstrous 20 to 25 miles especially out of trails = local highways That's why pedaling technics are necessary keeping going otherwise depends can be very tiring & frustrating.

    Great video! Just started riding almost a month ago. I hope to do 100 by February where there’s a community ride organized in my area, so these tips are great! I’m also surprised your video didn’t have any dogs! That’s incredible! I live in rural Texas. The whole video would’ve been me being chased by dogs if I had done it lol.

      Im glad it was helpful and good luck, with the right preparation you should be fine! Keep in mind that the terrain and weather can play a big role in difficulty. Haha I guess Im lucky there arent too many running loose around here!

    Thanks for your video with tips & encouragement.
    You did a great job recording while on the bike & editing after…
    I didn’t expect that when I saw a typo in the title: “Ride you’re first…” vs “YOUR”. 😊
    I liked it & subscribed.

    I have found , in my 60rs of existence , that the newest stuff isn't always better stuff 🤷‍♂️

    I've never done a century. Most I have ever done is 75mi , on the Neuse , on a mtb with touring tires .....
    damn sure felt like a century tho 🤷‍♂️ 😂👌

      And the Spot or InReach is great when doing long trail rides through places with no service.

    The earbuds are stupid and dangerous and make us all look bad. You know your ears are your best friend on your bike, but you're too cool to follow common sense... If you're doing to post videos and influence people at least teach them the right way and don't promote dangerous behavior. Stop being a dope.
