The way I normally do it is to carry a reasonable stash of snacks that I can easily eat on the bike or quickly tuck into at a control, and then stop for a proper feed around the halfway mark, ideally something like 110k so I feel like I've already broken the back of it. But however you do it, eat along the way, probably a little more than you think you need.

I'm entering the Rowlands Ramble this weekend. 213k from Kingston / Surbiton.
Quite long, but it would tick your box.
Will be my first Audax event, so you wouldn't be the only newbie there.
A question for the Audax veterans in this thread;
Usually on a long ride like this, I would stop a few times for coffee / food.
Should I plan to do that at Controls?
I'm a bit unclear if Control = 'stamp a ticket' or 'stop for cake'
