Am I ready for 100 miles?
Hi all,
As you can tell from my name, I am a new rider. I will be riding 100 miles at a charity event in 2 weeks. However, due to some unforseen issues, the longest I have ridden so far is 30 miles, and I plan to ride 50 this weekend. Will I be ready for 100 miles? I am in my 20's and in OK shape. I really want to accomplish this, and have fundraised my entire goal, but I really do not know if I am ready.
Also is it worth the investment to get clipless pedals? Currently I ride just with tennis shoes and flat pedals, however, I do not want to spend much more money on this event as I have already bought the bike and just about all the other accessories. So is it worth it to get the pedals for the 100 miles or just tennis shoes ok?
Thanks!!
