Or ride home again the next day making it back-to-back centuries, as Auntie Trek has suggested for ALC preparation.

I'm a leeettle worried because of the ankle swelling you had after your 3-day hike, but that resolved itself and you didn't seem more sore or tired than usual otherwise. Besides the 2 cages, remember that you also have a 3-liter hydration pack. You could have water in the pack and sports drink in the bottles. The pack gets lighter as you get more tired, so that works out pretty well. I'm SURE you can do this. I think even I could possibly do it, since the terrain's pretty flat and you have no minimum speed or max arrival time. Let's just hope you don't get headwinds all the way. HAVE FUN and send SMS's to me too along the way.
