I haven't done more than 35 miles a day though; last weekend I did about 60, but most rides are 20-30 miles. I've started road biking about 2 months now.
Should I go for it? Should I stick to the 50K? It's mostly flat, and rest stops and meals. I'm familiar with half the course. I'm 45, and no health problems.
Help me decide!!
This is my first organized ride and I've signed up for the 100 Mile Ride! Been riding the bike trail and the hills around El Dorado County since early summer. My longest ride this summer has been a little over 60 miles but I'm hoping that if I pace myself and visit the rest stops I'll complete the ride.
From what you've said you should be able to make the 100km ride without any problems.
