    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.

    The other thing for me is kit. Racing, I have a team. Audax I will be solo and the most I've done solo is probably 350k and that was realtively quickly so not much need for stopping and starting or resupply, etc. Basically, I want to carry the least amount of stuff but still be able to carry on given any of the common issues - clothing is probably my biggest problem. I never seem to have the right kit on! :)
