I've done a few. Well, some a little shorter.. the ride from my house to my friends beach house is about 85 miles. During the summer its pretty regular to ride there and hangout at the beach for a few days and ride back. Head wind the whole way there sucks, we almost never get over 15 mph unless we really push and thats stupid.. but its really nice coming home! lol

Few things I do/recommend.. maybe good for me, not for you.. "ride your own ride:"

• Leave earlier than you estimate you'll need to. So opt for the earliest time slot if possible.
• Night before: pasta, grilled chicken, olive oil.. good easy on the stomach meal to carb up.
• Lots of water, or at least options to stop for water. Drink before you're thirsty. Nuun additives are great and a little bubbly so it helps if my stomach gets a little rocky from too much gel or a bar.
• Light on the stomach: PBJ, Bananas, Frosted Cheerios (sugar), stuff like that. I like to cut up a pbj into bite sized sections and eat it out of a ziploc.
• "Pre-packaged" option: bars, gels, chews. I find after a lot of gel I get pain in the stomach and the gel makes me thirsty.. chews/shot blocks are great though. Powerbar cola flavor is amazing.
• Speaking of which: Bring a soda or have the option to stop at a convenience store is good. Drink some Pedialyte if you get really bad.
• Don't make it bigger than it needs to be. Even if you have to take your time and ride slow you will finish it.
• Don't stop for longer than you feel you have to. You will cramp up worse that way.

The most I ever rode before my first big ride was 30 miles. I cramped up at about 80 miles in. Luckily my buddies house was only a few more miles... and his girlfriend has her truck coming behind us. Damn right I bailed, there was cold beer at the house. lol
