Good thing we didn't head out today. Guess there was a little trouble over by Evanston.

I did a 100 mile race one time without a support team. I carried 4 - 20 oz. bottles, 2 with plain water and 2 doctored with something, I don't remember what. I cut up half a dozen Marathon bars into 1" cubes and lined a small hip pack with baggies and filled the sucker up.
I did start cramping about mile 75 from rationing my water. Got a few snickers about my fanny pack but I won my age group.

I guess this must be your first century. My experience has always been that, at 50 I'm thinking this is going to be a snap. 30 miles later, not so much. Those last twenty require lots of water and some salt.

Nah, I have done a few. This will be the first one this year. But the other ones I have done have been fundraisers with stocked rest stops so I was not as concerned about packing food. There will be convenience store options but I am a cheapskate and would rather bring my own.

I found the big bag of brake parts, and it had three pairs of cantilevers in it, none of them with hangers. Now it has 5. I rode uptown to the LBS and got a complete set of V-brakes, for US$4. That project also should be done tomorrow.

Sugary energy bar. They were very new at that time, probably 13-15 years ago.

I do approve. @datlas is one of the Addiction members that seems to know moderation, and wise eating.
. . . on my first plate.
