training for distance

Just thought I would post in this forum in hope of getting some great replies. I want to start breaking into some distance stuff. Right now I have a good 10 mile base (Can ride that anytime). My question is how do I train for a 50 miler and eventually a 100? I remember when I used to run I would do 3-5 ever other day and a long run on the weekend but what do you guys do? I Would like some help in setting up a schedule and getting ready for a 50. I am going to ride a 22 mile ride on 21 sept right now. Another thing. What about water. Do you use a camel back? If so, how big? I really appreciate the help and for you studs out there with crazy endurance, I am 49 not 29! Ha! (riding a Nimbus 36")

Um, why would you get great replies in Just Conversation?

Being a uniycling-related question, you should be posting this in Rec.Sport.Unicycling. That forum gets a much wider distribution than this forum, being that posts there get sent out over the RSU newsgroup, through news readers, RSS feeds and email subscriptions.

Here, you’ve a bunch of yahoos that like to chat about religion, bad movies and airplanes on conveyer belts. And this forum is not distributed outside the unicyclist.com domain.
