I just got my first road bike (Fuji Roubaix Pro) last weekend and my first rides didn't exceed 35km.
Yesterday I planned a longish route with several bailout options that could make it a 50, 75, 100km ride depending on how I felt and I'm glad to say I was able to ride out the full 100km (103.5km actual) loop.
Everything felt suprisingly good (except for the 65km bonk in a headwind and the longish hill at 85km) and I'm looking forward to doing my first real century sometime in the near future... especially if I can do it with a group and be able to draft now and again.
That's all, just felt like sharing
