I'm fairly confident I could do a 100, but I'm not at all sure I want to
Lame.

Aqua, do you want to do the century on a fixie?

I think so? I've been looking at routes, and if I did something like Rehobeth to Assateague and back (or on the C&O), it'd definitely be flat enough.
I've done a couple of incidental centuries on a singlespeed, back in the day. No plan for it or anything, I just happened to be on a bike that long. So I know it's possible, but I'm also old now. Would have to plan.

Damn straight.

I just did 33 miles after a 3 week break. It got a little ugly - it's amazing how quickly that happens. I'm highly unready for a century.

I did a metric century today, in 3.5 hours. It was rather exhausting.

I did 32 yesterday. I was fine but it helped that I did it in 2 parts. I got a flat halfway through and the patches Would. Not. SEAL. I used 2 and all the glue that was in the kit. (Park Tool.) Air kept finding new ways out. I've never seen that shit before.
I had to walk it to an LBS and get a tube. I got 5. I'm done with patch kits.

Wussy.
Still, 100k is a good stretch.

I'm going to be out here for another 6 hours
6+ hours for 100 miles? I thought we were talking about a bike ride, not walking!
Do a century in some mountains or even some serious hills, and get back to me. lol
