Keep the remaining 3 days a week fairly low mileage (10-20 miles a day), but make one a really intense day.
If you can't do the distance, you can't do the race. If you want to race in a year's time, it would be a good idea to be comfortable with 100 miles a day.
Good idea. That's perfectly doable.
I'll pick two days and try to do 20 on those days. I'm so comfortable with 10 that I think I could do 20 easy.
I don't have a proper distance-measuring device but 10 miles takes me about 40-45 mins so if I rode for about double that time on the two days I picked that would be about the 20 miles...
