Thanks for the advice everyone. Eating during my rides and hydration have been something I struggle with, mostly either planning ahead or just forgetting.

For what it's worth, it's not uncommon for riders to do 300+ TSS in a single weekend ride. Besides building up that conditioning, the biggest factor is adequate calories
I am used to a big ride on the weekend, for sure, but this is a different animal. This past weekend was 90mins at 0.84IF on Saturday followed by 90mins at 0.82IF. The last 3 weeks have Saturday rides at 90mins at 0.88-0.90IF followed by 120mins on Sunday at 0.80-0.85IF.
