2) I have no plans to ride a century. I enjoy my 1:20 minute weekly rides and up to 2 hours on the weekend. After six years of cycling, I have not gotten hurt and plan on keeping that way.
3) I use no gadgets at all but do track my rides with Endomondo.
4) I pay close attention to my diet but not for cycling just for living. I have been a vegan since 1978.
5) My goal is to ride every day and hit 7,000 miles for the year.
Early morning rides, at least on work days, are another area I've not yet trained myself to do regularly. I am an early riser so I'm up. When I have gone out early, I really enjoy the peace and quiet as the sun is just coming up. But, I just haven't invested the time to make it a habit. Good on you for doing that ... it is a good way to get the day going!!!
