As a reminder - 6'2" and 210 pounds. I rode another Century (sort of) yesterday enlisting the advice found in this column. The ride was actually from Bloomington, IL and ended in Danville, IL. We rode 112 miles in 90 degree heat and it was a blast. I ate at every stop (sandwiches, bananas and even chocolate). If I had a downfall on nutrition it was not drinking enough. I cramped between the Gibson City (46 miles) and Paxton (60 miles) stops. I rested 20 minutes and drank lots. I kept drinking lots and did not have that problem again. Eating and drinking IS the answer - thanks all.
