The mental part for sure is the true test.
I’m sure tons of people could do the 100 mile challenge from their current physical shape but losing the weight and doing it is impressive and will be life changing in multiple ways.

especially when starting out at 355lbs. It's not the physical part that'll win him the challenge. It's the mental part.

25 miles might take 75-90 minutes for someone in your shape. Try 5x that long.

I did 50 miles around Bear Lake. Has been training and riding for months. Did a couple of 25 mile rides leading up

It seems easy because your body has enough glycogen in its muscle stores

That’s actually a decent ride with very little elevation gain. Kinda cool that

I've done a 40 mile bike ride. It was no big deal. Didn't even train for it

Average time for a century ride is 6.5 hours. I've been MTBiking for 13 years.

You can’t say MTB is ‘way way more taxing’ than road w/o sharing variables

The biggest variable is the bike, imo. A light road bike with skinny and smooth

Less than 20lbs is crazy light. Sounds like a great race bike. I don't see many

Given your posts, I have no doubt you could do a century ride on a road bike.

Hence why we ride tubeless now with pressures in the 50's to 60's vs 100+ tubes

It's not. It's physics. From everything from the weight of the bike to rolling

Like BYU'01 said above, it depends on the variables & definitions

Average time for a beginner rider to bike 100 miles is over 8 hours. Not easy.

And 8 hours in the saddle for someone unaccustomed to cycling is no joke.
