As the title says. I’m planning on doing my first century in July. Several +50km rides behind me at the moment and averaging about 100km a week since spring. How much food should I pack? Do you guys use sports drinks etc for hydration? Any surprises I shouls know comparing the ride to shorter ones?

Thank you in advance :)

    I start to stiffen up if breaking for more than 10 minutes at a time

    I feel like that is about one or two minutes for me. Really don’t like the feeling in my legs when i’m starting again, even though it’s over quite quick, i try my best to avoid it when i’m not taking a longer break.
