A guy I know rode from Philly to Pitt. I don’t know if admirable or foolish. Looks like he did it all at once, though he could have been a Velo Vol and done it as two rides. Can anyone tell??

Century is almost always doable. Main issues are pacing and eating. Must do both from the start.

Calling for a chance of showers and thunderstorms all day, beginning at 9. The skies are crystal clear. I will be going out shortly, on an apple and banana run.
I have yet to decide which bike. Little, or road. 24 km r/t.

I def. need to plan better, have something more hydrating than water, and a better food source.
I bring a protein bar if I am going longer than 30 miles, and as of now just been using water.
I don’t know how to describe it, but when I start to get tired, it not from my heart rate being too high or my muscles feel fatigued or hurting. I just over all feel zapped, and hungry. I’ve yet to feel like I have to stop I just run out of time.
Ive noticed to that it seems really hard for me to keep my heart rate up even when I am working hard. If I am cranking on a straight away my leg muscles usually tire out before I am out of breath. Not sure if this makes any sense.

But who knows? Right around sundown I might just think the time is right for 51 miles.

Also bananas and/or gels. Gels can keep me going, but after the first one I need something in my stomach. Bananas fill that need. Eat a banana every half hour throughout if you can. The earlier you start eating the better.

I don't even like going 25 miles without food.
Doesn't take much. A mini kind bar or two fig newtons will do. But I gotta have something to gnaw on for a minute.

Golden delicious, the only choice I have. But the ride got nixed. I waited too long and now it's hot and there is rain moving in. Tomorrow
