Thanks folks, managed 60 miles with nothing but leaving nothing to chance!

Although haven't gone as far as shaving my legs yet. Won't have time for a massage after and a few tenths if a second time saved isn't going to make any difference to me lol

This going to be your first century? Which ride are you doing, a sportive?

I'd go for Sudocream and LOTS of it. Vaseline is a pain to wash out of your shorts. I did a century ride recently and survived on sudocream however it wont last the entire distance as you're just going to sit sweating for 5 to 6 hours basically. Think some of the proper saddle stuff has a little more stick to it than sudocream.

Shaving the legs is more to do with it's easier to clean and dress wounds than saving you the tenths of a second. Stretch as soon as you can when you get home to help prevent cramps over night too. Downward dog is great for stretching out the back of the legs (It's a yoga stretch).

Enjoy the ride, be prepared for the soles of your feet and bum to hurt by the end

Cheers

Doing the York100. Worried I haven't got enough miles in my legs thanks to work and cricket. But managed 60 miles last week with more ascent than the 100 mile will have. Was pretty tired but have been absolutely fine since.

Plenty of flapjack, gels, willpower and luck required!

Just looked it up. 3274feet of ascent over 100miles means it shouldn't be monsterously hilly at all. I will say if you did that amount of ascent in a previous ride you'll be fine and you just have to pace yourself and keep on pedalling, hydrating and fuelling. I got through about 7 bottles on the one I did recently, its important to stay hydrated as well as fuelled. With that amount of ascent it should be a little easier on your feet too! I did my ride with my brother and he hadn't ridden a century before. Kinda threw him in the deep end a little as it had over 5500feet of ascent. His words on finishing were 'I'm never cycling again'

One thing, I don't know if you'll get this but save the gels for later on. I find that as time passes I struggle more and more to chew / swallow food like flapjacks etc. This is when the gels come into their own
