I just bought my Trek Soho. Is it possible to ride in longer distance (charity) events with others who ride multi speed bike? Looking at 100 mile event.

The bike can do it.
Can you motor last that distance?

I agree with 10 Wheels... the motor is the question and then of course your head...
In June this year I did BTC ( http://www.bicycletourcolorado.com/ ) on a 44x16 SS... my head got me through it, my motor was at redline more times than I care to admit...

My friends did a midnight century with me... Brakeless and fixed. It's totally possible.
