Congratulations on your 20 miler, so now you're ready for more!
As noted above, hydration and nutrition are very important.
The rest you will learn as you progress and while you are sure to have some adventures, big picture is all good

I think you've earned a reward... like a new multi-tool for the saddle bag or something.

Bikes: Surly LHTD with a YAK trailer. I may have to ditch the trailer and go to panniers but I'll give it a try and see what happens.

I agree, biting off more than I can chew would not be a good idea. However, if I feel like I'm up to it then meeting the challenge and enjoying the accomplishment will be a rewarding experience.
