[RC] taking the plunge...or not - sharp penny

 I'm thinking about taking the plunge and trying a 100
next month. Ran into a friend this past weekend out on the
trail, she and her friend will be doing their first attempt
at a 100 and invited me to join them. Now I've been mulling
it over the past 2 days.
The trail is good for trying my first 100 on...it's a
trail close to home that I ocassionally train on and did my
first 50 on last year. I think Reno can do a slow 100 but
am wondering about me. I still get very sore after a 50 and
was wondering if I should wait to move up 'til I felt like
I could ride more miles after a 50. (Jim dancing around
after we completed Biltmore while I was in agony and just
trying not to puke comes to mind...lol )
I have been feeling better after a fifty then I used to
but, am still wiped and more than ready to stop. Part of me
really wants to try the 100; then there is that little
nagging thought in the back of my head saying it's waaay
too soon to move up to 100's as Ive only done 4 50's in my
entire endurance career (of a whole year..lol). Should I
just stick with 50's for awhile or go for it?

Also, I noticed alot of you take joint supplements. I went
to Wally World to get some and am now very confused as to
what to get. What do ya'll recomend and how much/day? I am
aleady taking Vit E. Besides Aleve or Advil, do ya'll take
anything to help your body during the ride?

 Thanks in advance for any pearls of wisdom you cast my
way!
