Ride this much and getting on the fg for 100 km or 160km is not nearly as big a deal and more than half of my riding was done on a fg during this time.
This was me last year when I riding plenty and then got sucked into racing. I remember several 100km rides fixed that were no problem.
I have since taken it pretty easy with mostly commuting (16miles a day + where ever else I go) and 30 mile rides thrown in there a couple day a week. This summer has been even slower. I don't doubt my ability to do the ride, I'm just not used to the saddle time. The others in the group are estimating 8 or 10 hours each way.
