Training for a 100 mile ride.
I signed up for a 100 mile ride to benefit Alzheimer's research, and I have until August to get ready.

Can anyone point me towards some info on a training program for a ride of this length?

I have a couple of vintage 12 speeds -- a Bridgestone RB-3 and a restored 72 Super Course. I'm guessing I'll need a newer / better bike than what I have-- better gearing, etc... for a ride of that length.

Thanks
