Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Sip constantly at your rest breaks, too, and don't chug slam the whole bottle at your rest stop.....especially if it's reallly hot on your ride. Slamming the bottle may well cause massive cramps or worse. Don't get behind on your hydration. That'll kill your Century effort.....guaranteed! A dehydration bonk isn't any fun at all (aka heat exhaustion/heatstroke).
Keep your rest breaks short, so your muscles don't get stiff and cold.
Thanks, Machka, I have this stuck.
