This morning I looked at the elevation for the ride and my stomach dropped a bit...
It's very well run. Harry and I did it a couple years back. Maxine has also ridden it. Great food and support. Very pretty route. There are a couple longer hills, but overall climb is low. Try to get in 2-3 short hard rides this week. Then push for another 60 miler next weekend. Then 2 short and very easy rides the week before the century. Ride the Indian Head slow and steady, but don't spend too much time in the rests. You'll enjoy it. This is a great ride for a first 100 miler.
