Hello,


Are century rides (i.e. 100 miles) usually done in a single ride, or
is it broken up into multiple rides?


Of course I'm talking about both done in a single day.


I almost always try to have a beer in the last 20 miles,
and maybe 4 or 9 in the first 80 miles, too.


Beer breaks sound good! It sounds like you break it up into 10 mile
intervals. How long do you take a break?


Just until I can't feel my legs any more.

To actually address to original, implied question: I doubt
that very many riders outside of racers ride centuries with-
out a stop of some sort, even if just to **** and take on
more water.
