Over the last few years, I have tried several foods and have settled pretty well on what works for me for shorter and longer rides. Same with the gearing, so I have those 2 sorted out.
Awesome on the weight loss since we last rode together. With that much weight loss from then you should be good to go.
Follow the RacerEx idea of building leg strength. At some point in this ride you will have to dig deep and just power over something. I helps that when your mind makes a promise your body can fulfil. (This is a slow pitch to rkwaki and a nod to 'Little Feat' fans out there.)
