The route I will be taking with Steve, it will be my first century this year and it is gonna be hot and windy! I will have to force myself to drink, a shortcoming I have. I'll post the results when I get back.

Good luck, and enjoy. From riding with you I don't think you'll have any issues.

You're not far from the bridge incident, hope that didn't give you any trouble.

I made it! Head wind all the way back and temps in the 90's. We rode our touring bikes, and had one mechanical issue (STeve broke a spoke, not me for a change) so was kinda slow and relaxed pace. I finished at 112 miles, the longest ride ever for me. I never bonked or cramped. My intake: 3 bananas, 3 litres gatorade, 4 litres water, 2 ham & cheese sandwiches, 2 cokes, 1 bag cheetos (for the salt ;-) ), 3 Clif Bars and a chocolate iced donut. I was only 4 pounds lighter than when I started so did a good job. That is where I struggle, eating and drinking on long, hot rides.
