In many strange ways, the longer an event is, the easier it is.
The dropping bottom speed means you need to ride less distance each day.
LEL has the big advantage of dropping even further than PBP as it goes above the 1300km threshold, so you can go even slower!
Often, a 600 is a challenge due to the high(ish) minimum speed compared to a 1200 or 1400 - weird I know.
Riding a long way at a moderate pace is not ever so difficult if you are comfy on the bike and have good mental fortitude.
