Is there a good strategy out there in respect to on-ride refueling AND post first day recovery in prep for the second century day?

Depending on the weather conditions - which in Oklahoma could give me just about anything - it could make the already hilly courses even more brutal.

I challenged myself at last year's Tulsa Tough to ride the Saturday century instead of two days of 100K. I knew I could do 62 miles..back to back.. no problem. I wasn't so prepared for the century, and it was brutally windy the last 30 miles or so. BUT... I ate every hour, I drank well..and I finished with a respectable 14.something mph avg speed. I could not have done another ride on Sunday if I'd wanted to though.

Which... brings me to a question for 2009... can I do a back-to-back century - a la Tulsa Tough... ?? I dont have the total elevation change for you guys. I'm sure it doesn't come close to anything like Ridin the Rockies or anything of the sort, of course.. But.. It is a good day's ride... very good.

I think mentally and physically... though the second day would be tough.. if I fuel right and recover correctly on Saturday.. I could possibly do Sunday too.

Do you gals, guys have tips? Strategies for an undertaking like this?

I'm not looking to break speed records.. I just want to finish each day's ride in respectable fashion (not drooling and knee crawling over the finish) LOL.

Help?

thanks! Susan
