most riders will speak about the 80 mile mark in a ride - not unlike the "wall" in marathon... what training for a ride will do is give one the skills to push pass the pain, fatique, "what the f,---" attitude that tends to set in around 80... knowing I am able to do that now helps me in all sorts of challenges... no matter how hard and tough something is... I can just keep at it and come out on the other side - OK.
Now that you have posted this and gotten your 100 under the belt, don't let people like Rick@OCRR try to talk you into 200... talk about pain! Congrats on your great time!
