If sag is 15 miles apart a couple of bottles will be plenty. Eat a good meal three hours before and fuel moderately during the event. Most folks can only uptake 300 or so calories per hour, stay away from stuff that will be slow to digest. More than 300 cals just sort of sits there. Bring some Endurolytes and take a couple every 30 minutes or so after the first hour.
Grab as many wheels to draft as you can in between the climbs. I approach long races trying to conserve every pedal stroke I can. Keep an eye on the wind an save some if you've got a headwind coming back.
Drop all the weight you can off you and the bike. If you need lower gearing on the bike, do it.
Don't blow up
