@ericm@infosec.exchange @ascentale@sfba.social @edd@freeradical.zone @bikenite@fedigroups.social solid advice! I can’t imagine anyone doing a century without stopping, (except the truly exceptional riders aiming to break records.) If you’re going to stop, build a hearty snack or meal into it. An hour’s rest + refueling makes a huge difference

@grammasaurus@mastodon.social @ascentale@sfba.social @edd@freeradical.zone @bikenite@fedigroups.social I took a long break like that on my very first century. Getting back on the bike hurt! and that was when I was 26. Unless it's a social ride I prefer to keep moving. For races that's imperative. But for all long rides eating and drinking is important. If you get behind on either its hard to catch up.
