15.6 mph average speed is good for your 1st century. I’m in my 60’s and rode my last century several yrs ago with 2 buddies. Rotating the lead position and a lot of drafting was a HUGE benefit.

I just did my first century in Sept. I trained for 4 months. Started at 20 miles and gradually increased rides till we got up to 79 miles. I also trained with a team. We practiced riding in a pace line. We also had mobile support. That way we had a way to fill up bottles and food to eat at rest stops. Just like you, it was mile 70+ that I started to feel it. I was able to finish and i'm proud of it. Congrats to you as well.

28 years of mtb racing here, during my long rides and races I would never eat solid foods. I use hammer nutrition perpetuem and heed in bottles or camel back, and a few hammer jell packs. It is a great company with top notch products.

I've gone from a 27 to an 80 mile ride in 3 months, and I'm planning to do a century soon so I'm finding inspiration from videos like yours, great video, good quality and helpful advice. Thanks man

I always start to cramp up at 60+ miles so afraid to hit 100 miles

There are 36 oz water bottles available that I got from my local bike shop which really help with the water issue. Thank you for the video.

Absolutely astounding and super great :) I loved it :)

Get a seat post bottle holder then you can carry 4. I carry 4 24oz bottles for my long rides and stop for refills. Also carry electrolyte powder packs like propel to replace what you are losing

Awesome Video Noah!

There should be rest stops at the race every 1.5hrs or so. Idk what race it is tho
