with 3 months of training? I would like to participate in a century ride on May 17th but I have very little biking experience. I am moderately fit and try to workout 3-4 times a week with interval cardio. I work 5 days a week 8-5:30 so I may need to do the majority of my training on the weekends. Are century rides for biking pros or is it possible for a novice to complete one (in a reasonable amount of time and without major injury)? If so, how long should I expect a century ride to take me? Thanks all!!
