How ridiculously stupid would it be to go and buy a pair of Rapha bibshorts tomorrow and wear them for a 600km audax on Saturday.
If you can wear them on a few rides (even commutes) between now and then then you should get away with it. That should flag up any major problems.
I did a 1200km ride on a (Brooks) saddle I'd ridden a whole 50km on and, in fact, the entire bike was that brand new too. Luckily it fit.

What else are you going to do... if wearing for a few commutes highlights problems then you'll have to deal with the pain or bow out of the audax. Either way you'll have worn the bibs and so can't return them.
I am of course assuming you don't already have some bibs you can wear, in which case wear those...

Obviously I know the answer to this, its just that I am stupid.
