Anyone have any advice for making the switch from 100k's to 100mi's?

You've already done 2/3 of the 100mi. Set a slower than average pace on the first third (30 miles or so) and then ride the remainder at your normal pace. I find that I can average significantly higher speeds on organized rides than solo rides due to drafting faster riders.
Enjoy the ride! |
