I'm more interested on how I'll go on the 400 and 600 rides given that most of my experience at those distances is on a TT bike up and down A roads, rather than variable terrain, conditions, etc. on lanes and the like.
The two major things that people struggle with on 400s and 600s are:-
- night riding (which I assume you won't given your 24h experience)
- sleep deprivation (which shouldn't a problem for you since you'll be fast enough to have a good rest on a 600 and probably finish before midnight on 400 with a 6am start)
The latter will come in to play on PBP itself if you want to go for a fast time.

I was kind of hoping to do it normally, ie. 2, 3, 4, 6 but really I'm not that bothered by 2 and 3 - I was using the 3Down route last year for solo training rides anyway.
