making the 200k to 300k jump
I can ride a century or 200k without much pain. But in a few weeks I'm going to ride a 300k, and in my mind that's a big step up. Accordingly I would appreciate any advice about how to train for that jump.
I'm not used to the idea of "training." But I have never ridden over 160 miles in a day, and over 145 only few times, the most recent one last July.
This ride will happen around the summer solstice, just me and a couple friends, not an organized ride, no sag wagon. There will be plenty of daylight, but I mean to get the guys out on the roads as early as possible and hope to knock off the first 100k before the sun comes up.
I'm planning to carry plenty of food and water, sunblock, analgesics. Haven't decided on a bike, but it will be a comfortable one.
Advice?
