Potatoes, PB & J sandwiches, PF Sausalito style cookies for the win. I think I slept about 10 hours.

Marco, Henry and I made the turn left for the last section of the 200k after the lunch rest stop and the lady tells us we are unsupported. Whatever, we'll manage. Two full water bottles will be enough in the heat to ride 30 something miles. This section of the ride was non-stop headwinds the bulk of the way. We took turns pulling and ate away at the mileage. Turns out the last rest stop was still open. I chomped a couple cookies and drank a coke. Used the small tube of chamois cream which really helped after so many miles. At this point it was destroy mode. Anything that moved in the distance got dropped. Marco set off on a great pace and I did my best to keep up. It was more or less a 15 mile time trial with a hill tossed in the middle. There were three older gentlemen who were off at a furious pace earlier in the ride but we spotted them and gobbled them up near the end. Marco will need to tell his 'BONK' story later.
