[RC] [RC] Encouraging more 100 mile starts - Sherman
Julie Suhr's book should be in every endurance
rider's library, marked and tattered from having been read over & over.
Surely, that alone would encourage more 100 mile riders. Being new to endurance, I'm curious if adding 50s brought more 100 mile
riders to the sport? And more recently, has adding LD rides resulted in more
riders that now do 50s? Or do these distances pretty much just bring the riders
that want to do those distances, and are not really stepping stones for the
majority of riders to 100s? For me and my daughter, Tara, a 100
was the goal from the beginning, knowing we had the benefit of 50s to help us
get there and gauge our readiness. I can't see how being able to de-elevate at
any ride during our journey would have helped us in any way.
