As the title says. I’m planning on doing my first century in July. Several +50km rides behind me at the moment and averaging about 100km a week since spring. How much food should I pack? Do you guys use sports drinks etc for hydration? Any surprises I shouls know comparing the ride to shorter ones?

Thank you in advance :)

    Thank you so much, really good tips!

    What’s your current max distance, and was it very difficult, moderately difficult, or easy?

    I do 40-50km rides maybe every two weeks at the moment, longest was last sunday 60km gravel ride which I rode ~24km/h average speed. Felt okay, definitely not hard in any way.

    Provided that you’re comfortable on your bike, it’s just a longer version of your short ride :)

    I was hoping to hear this one, great ;)
