The 100-mile marker can be really significant for people who are new to cycling, those looking to progress in the sport or others who have returned to cycling after a period away.
Whoever you are, and whatever your ability and experience, we could all do with a few tips on getting through 100 miles in better shape.
In this clip Dunne sets out from home in Carrick-on-Suir for 100 miles that includes the climb of The Vee and takes him across Waterford and into Cork.
