If you normally ride about 25 miles consider a century 4 x 25 miles. Mentally break it up and plan your fluids and food intake accordingly. You can carry all the food/goo/energy bar crap you need but you will probably need fluid replacements from your wife or store stops.
Good Luck and let us know how it turned out.
I'm not trying for time, though, I want to finish before it gets dark

I'm trying to decide what I want to eat.. I will be eating some energy bars, and have some of that GU stuff. But other wise, I haven't decided.
For some reason, I don't want to stop. But I'd rather not kill my self ride wise.
