      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.

      Please love yourself.

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

        Lame. 🙂

          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.

              Please love yourself.

                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! 😉
