RE: [RC] 100 mile experience / advice - bobmorris

I would dispute that rationale. That is like saying that one
cannot advise unless one has actually done the act.
Remember, some of the best coaches in sports never excelled
in their sport but did have extremely good analytical minds
and were very good observers. There are some riders who have
many 100 mile rides to their name that I would not consider
as exemplary examples for some one looking for advice for
their first 100 mile ride.

The expertise is in knowing, not necessarily in doing. Some
riders have done one mile 100 times, a few have done 100
miles once or twice.

I must agree with Susan K (a good friend of mine) - get
advice for riding 100 milers from people who have done 100
milers.  That's why I have a problem with Nancy Loving's
book & her advice on 100 mile rides... her record is 750
miles - no 100s.
