I have been lurking in this site for quite some time. I finally ordered a bike, Trek Madone 4.7, that is arriving at the end of this month. I have been riding for years in the States and love doing centuries but have been off the bike for at least two-three years now. I want to get back into shape. Or, at least, a less round shape ( Can't see past my gut, have to ask my girlfriend if my shoes are tied, fricken embarrassing). Can someone point me to a long organized race/ride that is coming up in about 3-4 months that I can use as a training goal?
How are the organized races/rides in Japan? Do they have an "I just want to finish" class usually? Are they usually well supported ( closed roads, markers, food stops, SAG wagons, etc..)?
