I found 200 quite a barrier, it took two goes to crack it last year (out of time on the first ploughing up and over Hartside pass into a strong headwind). My major worry about the longer distances though is more about being fast enough to allow some sleep. I get full value out of the 200s I ride usually so building up a time bank for sleep on a longer ride might take a bit of doing (and losing a decent amount of weight)
The terrain you are riding in is easily a couple of hours slower than a SE 200km, which obviously will have nothing like Hartside, so there's no shame in that!
