Also if people could help me understand all of the steps towards training and completing a century that would be great. I’m so eager to learn and excited to start training. Thank you all!!
Might give Jeff at Hilltop Bicycle Center in Mansfield a call. They have a group that used to do (and I think still does) 70 miles rides on Sunday mornings. It's a short hop from the store to light traffic country roads. They also organized an alternative to the HNH last year when it was cancelled. If you don't mind the drive, it might give you a way to get the practice.
