I am currently training for a 200 mile gravel grinder on my C'Mute SS. I run a 42x18 which is kinda low but combined with the 700x40's, plus the dirt road aspect, is acceptable to me. Since I know I am going to ride the 200 on a SS I have decided to ride nothing but my SS in the time leading up to the ride. I figure the more time on the specific bike plus time on my choosen gear will be money in the bank when D day comes. I try to hit all the hills I can, barring the insanely steep ones which I know I would just have to walk. I travel a lot so my training is sporadic. I try and put in at least one century a month plus commuting and general fun riding. As far as food goes just make sure to do long training runs with different strategies. When you get home take 5 to review what did and didn't work. Take a couple of notes so that you can readjust for the next time. Have fun!!!
