While there are many books and training guides on how to ride a century, I particularly enjoyed Marla Streb's Bicycling Magazine's Century Training Program: 100 days to 100 miles.
While she was a professional racer, in the book she describes the plan she created for her non-cyclist brother. In the process you learn everything you'll need to know and have fun reading it. I certainly did. René -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
