Besides the saddle issue, I discovered that I absolutely hated my cycling gloves after the 100 mile mark. I've since found ones that work fine for me. As for saddles, I think after trying 4 different ones, I've finally settled on a saddle that is reasonably comfortable up to 200K and that I can ride again the next day for a 100K. Still not convinced that I can do a continuous 300K. Part of that is a lack of desire to ride in the dark as I'm a slower rider.
