Hi Jayce,

As long as you are sensible and don't go off like a rocket the feeding stations are well placed for refilling. Though I would advise you take at least 4 gels and whatever food you can eat along with you too. The feeding stations normally have plenty of bananas, but cakes go quite quickly if past rides are anything to go by, though we have been promised a savoury option in Cimla this year!

As for the ride itself stay within your limits and you'll be ok. Don't try and keep up with faster riders, you will bonk!!!!
