Road fan,
Hey, thanks for the tip! No problem posting it 'late'.... my century is on March 9th so I am still training away. I've done a 45 mile last week, then got floored with a cold over Xmas

Planning on a 50 mile next week, and try to keep adding 2-5 miles or so each week to my longest ride, so I should get up to a 4.5 hour ride by then. Appreciate the help, I took the general advice here, skipping a trainer and I am doing a wee bit of interval, but mainly getting on my bike plenty during the week, and doing at least one long ride each weekend and increasing the distance regularly on that. I am also going next week to get fitted and get a better saddle with my LBS gift cards I got on Xmas! So I am still trucking along and ALWAYS appreciate the tips and help!
