Wow, that's a rolling average of 20km per hour, every hour, without stopping! That seems doable, but factor in rest stops, hills, headwind, fatigue, mechanicals etc, and suddenly that 20kph looks more like 25kph!
Good luck, it will be one hell of a 40th birthday!
Yeah not going to be easy but think I can maintain 18mph as will be riding as a group always Easyer which gives you 2mph extra with no extra effort , awesome way to spend my birthday though

Drafting certainly helps but it's actually hard to do a long-distance ride in a group all the way. People tend to have their own rhythms, their good and bad patches, and they rarely coincide. If you get really sleepy, you need to stop and rest - whatever others might want - as it's dangerous to fall asleep on the road. People have fallen asleep on bikes and it has sometimes been fatal.
