I'm riding a Cannondale CAADX which is a cyclocross bike, but I did buy road tires for it. I'm not too experienced with long rides... did a 35 mile ride last weekend and was exhausted the rest of the day, it was definitely tough, but I think with some training I could work my way up to 50, 75, and 100 mile lengths, especially with rest stops. I'll be riding with a group of people that I work with.
I have a cheaper pair of padded underwear now, but I can tell they aren't great quality and my ass still starts to hurt at about 25 miles. Would like to get some top of the line shorts and other items like clip in peddles, cycling shoes, and of course a proper bike fit (I basically self adjusted everything on my bike, but not sure it's perfect for a long ride).
