Are you planning on doing the double metric quarter century next year, or is that too much too soon?

You are 'over thinking' this ride!
Eat a good breakfast and take a bottle with water.

You should get some AeroOreos aka Aereos. They are the fastest cookie money can buy.

Y'all can't go using the rest of the worlds metric system whenever you feel like. Pick one and choose.
Is there a McDonalds on the route? Grab a 1/9th kilogramer on the way.

Don't forget that it's not just about nutrition during the actual ride. You need to build up your reserves for this epic adventure. Remember to carbo load during your tapering! I recommend Olive Garden- their neverending pasta and breadsticks just can't be beat for cyclists. Go to lunch and/or dinner at least three times a week until your ride. Trust me. You'll be thanking me so much on the day.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned caffeine. Lots of it too. I recommend at least 2 Venti Frappuchinos before the ride, one in the bidon, and one post ride. Lots of nutritional caffeine, healthy fats, and necessary simple carbs for performance.
