Thanks for the encouragement guys. Im planning on doing the "Hotter than Hell 100" this summer so I at least needed an idea of how 100 miles would feel . My previous long ride was 60 miles. I'm definitely gonna try to do a few more of these before August. Deputy Jones, I did my ride on a 80's model Fuji Roubaix, A nice steel bike that weighs around 23-24 lbs and is a pleasure to ride .
