I answered this in another thread:
"I find the following 100-mile rides:
Cow Creek Classic, June 26 in Waxahachie
Quartz Mountain Diamondback 100, Altus, OK, August 7
Red River Bike Rally, Sherman, TX, August 14
Wild West Waco Century, Sept. 25, Waco
Also one in San Angelo. I think the Space Race in Houston has a 100-mile route, and there may be some others around the state as well."
If you like 100 mile rides, consider taking up randonneuring, with fairly frequent 200k rides (125 miles or so).
I hadn't planned to do this ride, but may reconsider. But my Sojourn is in the shop right now, so if I do, it'll be on the Worksman cruiser complete with baskets. Which means I can sure tote all the stuff I need, only at 13 mph.
