hello everyone. i am 15 years old and just getting started in cycling. my goal for this year is to participate in the nyc century ride this september 11th. i am planning to ride the 15 mile course around manhattan. i was just wondering what are some good training activities i should do to get me in good condition for this ride? if it matters right now my average speed is about 15 mph on flat ground.
on a separate yet related note, should i be drinking sports drinks or eating protein bars or stuff like that if as i continure cycling? sorry if thats a dumb question but i am new. thanks in advance for the help.
