Good job on your century ride. I'm not there yet and probably will never ride that far since I ride mtb's but plan on giving road riding a try this year.

What's a mtb equivalent to a century road ride?

Around my area of the Catskill Mountains, there is always a hill to climb. Climbs develop strong legs and character, haha

Oh I know! I've spent a lot of time hiking in the neighboring peaks to the north, hoping to finally be an Adirondack 46'er after a few more hiking trips.

But can't say I've ever rode my bike in the mountains, and I just don't spend enough time there anyhow since I live in Ohio now. Hope to move back after my son is out of school, looking at properties now in the southern ADK's.
