Exactly. If you can't finish it, there will be another day.
And I'm afraid I would chime in on the lots of fruit & veg before a big ride.
Actually a coach told me to eat low in fiber the half week before an event. The reasoning - your intestines will have less to work on, and to expel, on the big day. Carbo load: I like pasta with just olive oil, parmesan cheese and a few chopped cherry tomatoes. Do your last ride on Wed, or at the latest Thursday, no more than 2 hours, then carbo load. That ride can be short, but brisk, to get your glycogen stores emptied.
But since you are having problems with nutrition, I don't intend to add to the confusion.
