Sea Gull Century advice?
Not sure if I'm in shape enough yet for this? I've been getting back into biking this summer, with my maximum ride so far being 30 miles on the hills of northern Baltimore County. 100 miles on the flat sounds easy at first, but then I'm trying to factor in the wind. Also on a hilly ride, you can coast virtually half the distance (the downhills), whereas at the Sea Gull you have to self-propel 100% of the way. I'm thinking too about the saddle-sore factor of such a long ride. I was thinking of riding the Sea Gull (if the wind & weather looks good), but maybe I should train more and wait till next year? Any thoughts/advice?
