Long way away from Maine to do a century. I may need to consider it as I am behind on miles for this time of the season. May not have enough miles under my belt to do the Lobster Ride Century on July 23 (which I have doing since '03).
How late can a rider register? Do not want to ride in the rain (especially if I drove down from Maine). I have done centuries in the rain, no fun.
Todd, I know you are serious about biking this summer. Doing a century is a great goal to keep you motivated.
As far as pace lines are concerned, I have yet to meet a wheel that I do not want to suck!

I, for one, will not be riding in the rain. A light sprinkle here and there? OK. It will be cool enough to bring a windbreaker and keep the core dry (not so concerned about legs and feet). But if it's real rain, then I'm either sleeping in or opting for a MUCH shorter ride.
For those that have done centuries, what speed do you ride at. I've never done a century and, even with chamois butter, am concerned about 7 hours of riding. How long does a century usually take?. Bushwacka, you need not reply, I know your average speed is out of my range. Probably true for Jim and Mike too.
