    Love the video! Inspired me to start training longer to finally get my own century ride under my belt

    Inspiring, makes me want to go out and get ready for my first century. Most I've done is 120km on my own, took me about 6 hours. Best time was a 90km or so ride, took about 4 hours

      @thenayancat8802 - Thanks! Group events/races make these long efforts a bit more doable. They have rest areas with snacks which really helps break up long rides. Motivated by treats!!!

      @@elroobike Yeah I loved doing these rides on my own, but it takes a lot of planning and motivation. Probably a sportive would be more fun!

    i eat sour patch kids on endurance workouts cause they're cheap, but gels and honey stinger waffles r a nice alternative, great advice overall though

      @roshinsoni - The fancy gels get super expensive - candy works for sure - I still love jelly bellies.

    I did 100 miles when I was 18. Wasn’t that hard then. Now it might kill me 😂

    Sorry you mentioned post ride moisturizer, which one do you recommend?

      @DenisJeliazkov The one I've had the best luck with so far is an Aloe Vera gel from Seven Minerals on Amazon. The trick seems to be letting it fully dry.

    I like bicycling. But I couldn't ride 100 miles if Christie Brinkley was nude (back in the day) and on a bike in front of me. The furthest I've gone is about 10 miles roundtrip, and I had to stop and stand in air conditioning on the way back when doing that. Sorry Christie.
