I am willing to bet the marathon bar of my youth tastes better than you marathon energy bar.

I've never done an unsupported miles century ride.

A. My race was a 100 mile unsupported TT. Thus the fanny pack. I was in the 50-55 class. My time was like 5h 6m, just under 20 mph.

B. Educating the unwashed masses - this is a Marathon Bar:

I'll bet your right. Im sure you can still buy one. Report back. ;)

What's really ridiculous is those runners who wear a belt/fanny pack during events where they have a water station every several minutes. :rolleyes:

Guy #2 gets a face full of spokes on the landing. Ouch.

My new MTB wheels are NOT getting bladed spokes, btw.

Did you do it on the BMX pictured? Or with the stroller?

Skateboard. :thumb:

Y'all like bird pics, so here's a potato quality road runner that was waiting for me at the trailhead when I finished tonight (low light iphone pic zoomed in all the way... a recipe for success):

I used to ride with a guy that did his first century on a BMX bike. At age 12.

I have one set of bladed spoke MTB wheels. I hope I don't snap that fork!

You can't be serious.

Was he being chased by a coyote?

Nope, but someone in my neighborhood saw a coyote taking a dump in my front yard and posted it on facebook. Same neighborhood. So... it could actually happen.

I've done 74 miles with little, if any food.

I did drink several bottles of water.

Dang, dream jerseys show up on the eBay, but they're Size L/XL. Maybe I could eat and drink my way into fitting them???

If you ate, you could have made it a full 100.

I've never done a supported century.

Just bring the messenger bag stuffed with goodies.

It was a training ride for a century, not a century ride.

Yeah, but why not do a century while training for a century?

Hey! :mad: I resemble that remark.

He finally got bored of doing laps around the office park?

That'll buff right out.

A Coke and a Pearson's Nut Roll (I've decided this is the perfect gas station pick-up on a long ride) and he could have done a metric double.

Funny you should ask. I learned the hard way (arguing on BF) that many folks think that is the way to do it. Some even recommend riding more than a century to train for a century. Something about being strong on the event day. Go figure.
