do people do these century rides in the mountains? mountains make long miles, downhill factored in, even. i guess i might be able to do something like that if i had almost no weight. but certainly not with my touring getup. 60 miles in a day is my max. after which i'm sore for the evening. if i do 3 days in a row of 50 with my touring get up, the 3rd day is a sore day of biking.
