Just did my first century after 2 years of trying.
Best advice would be to eat good, rest when needed and have a friend with you.
Now thinking my next goal. Maybe ride in all 50 states?.
Cheers!.

Congratulations!
Go again.
Turn around, cycle home.
I stop at that exact same gas station on the Empire State trail
That’s wild ! Congratulations. I just started so 100 miles I can’t even imagine . How long have you been cycling ?
Double century!
200k!
So close to breaking 7 hours
Next step – find elevation gains.
Go again and go faster. Then, go again and go further. Repeat
Keep doing it. Normalize being able to do higher and higher distances without it being a “thing”. I’m to the point where I’ll throw down 100 miles on a Saturday if I have time, but I’m wiped after ,and anyone can push themselves. In my eyes, I’ve “mastered” a distance if I’m able to do said distance and not have my whole day shot, still able to do yardwork and real work, not just collapsing on the couch for 5 hours afterwards 🙂 always something to improve! Make sure to rest for a few days before doing another ride. After my first century I did one day rest only and legs felt like ass for the whole week since I didn’t rest enough
That’s not slow imo
