What would be a reasonable progression to build endurance? Idid the 5miles in about 20minute. Could have done doble the time. think I had the stamina,but did not want to over do it.
Was invited to a 75 mile ride in April. wandering if going would be premature.
Any thoughts ,ideas or suggestions are welcomed and most appreciated

I agree with revchuck about next month being kinda soon. Keep at it and gradually build up to the 75 miles during the spring. You should be ready for the 75 miler or a century by mid-summer.
I see you're from Miami. Why not check out the
Southeast Regional subforum. There are several Miami area folks on here. Maybe you'll find someone or a group to ride with.
