It is also quite popular so you could probably find some others to ride with and help you out.

This is the one to do to beat 5 hrs without beating yourself up. I broke the 5 hrs mark solo a few years back and me another guy did it 2up TT style on TT bikes and got it down to 4:20. I've done this event 11 times. Only thing left for me to try is a Tandem, Fixed Gear, Recumbent or a Unicycle.
