Hi,

That's a pretty aggressive goal for somebody that's never done even a metric century before - good luck!. There are so many details that go into endurance cycling and you should try to do some shorter events (metric centuries?) first or at least some long (3-4 hours) training rides. Rides under 2 hours don't really get you into the endurance zone. Food, hydration, bike fit, mechanics and many other things all come into play...

I've done a lot of centuries/double centuries and these days I use Hammer Nutrition products so you might want to check them out, I think they are great (no affiliation).

Good luck

Eric
