Will probably stick to solo rides or riding with the people i know are at similar fitness levels.
Tried Time Trialling ? Especially the longer distances ? A 50 is probably speed work for something like TCR.
I'd imagine Audaxes would also be good training, if anything to get you used to navigating, equipment and check points. Whilst also putting miles into your legs

On a side note, rode a relatively lumpy 220km at the weekend at a decent pace with a few pals, spending most of it on the front of the group. I think I will try and keep rides like that infrequent.
I think riding for 4/5 hours at pace is more productive over time because it doesn't exhaust you quite so much and you can get back to training sooner.
