Years ago, in the 70's to be exact, I started riding and wanted to do a century. I read everything I could get my hands on involving training for cycling and running to build endurance. I came across this book called LSD Running (hey it was the 70's) or something to that effect. The Author was an advocate of going long slow distances with increasing mileage gradually. I thought "why not try this with cycling". It worked. I rode daily and on weekends increased my mileage at a long slow pace. I still use this method when planing on some long miles. Not rocket science but I'm not a rocket scientist and it still works. Take your time and enjoy the ride.
