Work up to a monthly mileage of at least 800 miles for a couple of months. Then take it easier for a week and ride a double century in under 12 hours. All the while eating only fruit. Let us know how it goes.
The experiment is already in full effect, i eat 95% fruits 5% tender leafy greens and bike on average 20-30 miles a day. Only just started rode biking about a month ago but have been eating this way for a couple months. I'll let you know how it goes when i attempt a double century, I'm fairly positive i could already ride a double century in under 12 hours tho..
If you wanna see some one who has acutally put this method to practice for over 2 years and competes in mega endurance marathons(and often wins them) then look no farther then Durianrider(

By the way i said 2-5% not 2-3%, why would we need more? You think you need more protein then a growing baby??
