Just a quick thought to be aware of your fatigue factor on the second day. I was riding into Cherry Hill at the very end of the ride on the second day when I had to slow down for a red light. I had thought I was well versed in proper unclipping from the pedals, but I didn't relate how spent I was. I slowed down and starting weaving into the pack of other riders waiting at the light when I realized I couldn't unclip. I slowed to a stop and did a graceful sideways drop, with my front tire hitting the back tire of some 9 yr old riding with her dad. They both looked at me like "what's your problem" and I just said sorry and felt real dumb. Saw the sideways tumbles many times at the various checkpoints, always be on alert for those!
