Well, I am suitably impressed. I doubt I'll ever be interested in riding 250 miles, tho' one of these days I'd like to do my first century; but I am certainly impressed at y'all's stamina. I'm an agressive rider, but I don't ride more than 35 miles at a time (tho' all my riding is fixed or ss off road).
What sort of riding, mileage, training, do you have to do to get to where you can ride 250 miles mor or less non stop?
