Finally worked out how to cycle at a higher cadence for longer periods...
61.3km, 2 hours 20 minutes...
I'm wanting to work up to a metric century, and then a 'proper' century, but damn, 60km is hard work.
How do you guys ride your centuries? Do you ride them solo or in groups?
What kind of pace do you aim for?
A metric you can do by yourself and it's pretty easy. A regular century I recommend going to an event. It's hard to carry enough food/water/tools on yourself for ~6 of riding and with the events you get regular supplied rest stops and on-course support if you need something on your bike fixed. Plus you get the safety of riding on a marked course with other people, and when you finish there's a big party! Once you're more used to them and get your time down then you can do it by yourself and start working for double metric and double century!
However, for your first century, make it special, do an event or with a group of friends, it's more fun that way.

What a bummer you have to ride in such conditions!
