The thought of riding that far in a paceline gives me the willies. I rode my first century this past Wednesday, solo, in about 8 hours. My previous longest was 76mi. The trick I've found for any long distance ride is to go at a moderate pace rather than trying to keep up with anyone. Don't wear yourself out early. Ride efficiently, not fast. Drink lots, eat occasionally and make some of that food salty if you are sweating a lot. Have fun.
