Congratulations on the century. I was hoping to do one last year on the ms ride but go a late start waiting for the bathroom and missed the century cut off by about 10 minutes. Only did the 82 mile route. I gel'd between every rest stop so about 1 time an hour and made sure I ate something at every stop. This year I plan to do the century and again will use the gels. They are just a faster source of energy then say fruit. You just can't wait until you feel the need for energy because it is too late at that point.
