Today I did 70 miles on the road and bonked. Dumb rookie mistake, I drank enough but didn't eat it enough. I think my plan will be a gel per hour. They do have some solid food at the check points (you get a different colored zip tie at each one). I will likely pack Peanut Butter and Jelly in our ice chest. An awesome friend is being our support. I know last year DH also needed a Coke, ibuprofen and more Sport Legs before that last road segment.
EPIC is what I am expecting. I have done six road centuries and now two mountain bike marathon races (50 and 43 miles) plus about 10-15 XC races and 3 half marathons but this is new animal.
