I've decided I want to ride in my first century this year. I'm new to road biking and know little about the finer details. So, I would like to know if any of you out there have any advice for me. Anything from favorite meals before long rides, to best riding gear, to favorite places to ride. I'm still trying to choose which century I want to do, considering the Tour de St. George, and the Frontrunner Century. I'm also in the market for a good bike, so any advice there would be good too.
