Century Ride (100mi)
The imperial century (100 miles / 160km) is cycling's marathon equivalent. Charity centuries and events like Hotter'N Hell Hundred draw riders of all ages, and the 50+ demographic makes up roughly half of century ride fields. Expect 6-8 hours in the saddle and 8-12 weeks of training building long-ride fitness.
