Hello all,
I've been a member of this site for awhile but rarely have posted since I'm a student athlete and between practices and classes I don't have a ton of time.
Anyway, with swimming just ending I like to look towards the summer for cycling and my offseason conditioning (coach puts us on a summer weight lifting regimen). This summer I would really like to do some century rides, but I don't know how to take up training for such a thing, and was just curious for some input from some of the more experienced riders from this website.
The end of last summer was when i started to get more into riding, the longest i had gone was 35 miles averaging right around 20mph. So to do 100miles is kind of a big step for me but it's something i'd really like to accomplish.
So any information you can provide me with is greatly appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time,
Josh
