>Thanks everyone for the input. My son and I took all of your advice given and we're going to do a 52 mile ride this Friday and see how it goes.

Dammit, that's what I was going to suggest. Try 50, and if you feel good after that, do the 100. If you feel pretty tired, step it up to 75 or whatever.

Riding 160km in a day is an awesome achievement, so get into it. Try to have a bail-out option the first time if you can.

(The 10% increment advice was bizarre and impractical. Who has time for that? )
