Whilst 'ride your bike' is good advice, it is also worth doing rides to mimic your experience in the TCR. For example, once spring rolls around I plan on a few trips where I'll go out with the fully loaded bike, ride all day, sleep in my bivvy then get up and ride all day again.
I want to minimise surprises or 'unknown unknowns' during the race. Whilst it is impossible to eliminate them all, I feel like there are probably plenty i can find out before the race starts and, if possible, mitigate them.
