I do twenty miles pretty easily but have never tried to go further. Now the question. Is a verve up to doing something like that or will I need more bike?
The Verve is very capable as long as your comfortable on it. Just try to build up rides until your able to ride 50 milers quite well. And 100 miles will be a challenge but doable. Cheap upgrade for headwinds on a hybrid is a pair Origin8 drop barends.
