First off, I would like to thank the BF community for all of your advice over the last four months or so. This community has helped me purchase my first road bike (in March) in addition to answering a handful of Fredly questions from me (see I am catching on to the BF terms)!

In two weeks (from tomorrow) I am doing the Wright Stuff Century here in Wisconsin. I feel well prepared... I will be crossing over the 1k mile mark on my new bike this weekend and I have done rides of 75, 65, and 55 (x2). I have my last long training ride planned tomorrow for another 75 miles! I am a little concerned about the century cause it is 5500 feet of climbing, which is not easy to train for in the flatlands of Wisconsin, but I have done plenty of hill work and my longer rides have been in excess of 4k feet of climbing. I hope I am prepared

I have never done an event like this so I am not sure exactly what I need to bring. I am thinking of bringing my own food even though they provide food on the rest stops. The reason being is I have foods I am comfortable with that I have been using while training and I am hesitant to switch the nutrition up on event day. In addition to my hydration and nutrition needs what else do I need to bring?

Specifically, on a supported ride like this should I be bringing my normal spare tube, CO2 cartridges, and patch kit? Or should I ditch them to save the weight considering there will be SAG vehicles patrolling the route?

Any other advice for my first century is greatly appreciated as I am not fully sure what to expect!
