If you want to have a go at this sort of riding, take up audax and build up to the longer rides.
Absolutely this. A lot of the people doing TCR are familiar names from Audax, it's the perfect training framework for this kind of riding as you can use the support at controls to begin with and slowly ween yourself off that and be entirely self-sufficient.

If you want to have a go at this sort of riding, take up audax and build up to the longer rides. 400km takes you beyond what most people can do non-stop. You'll need to sleep for a bit. A 600km needs a few hours sleep, but can be done in a weekend. Then once you're comfortable at those distances, you can go after the 1000km+ rides. I've never really gotten past 600km.
