Hi Greg
I did the 140 kms last year and will be doing that again this year. I'm sure you can do it - you will surprise yourself. A couple of thoughts - are you eating enough during the ride? I cycle with a club in Vancouver. One of the members is a nutritionist who wrote us a great email about food before during and after a ride that surprised me but I have found her advice to be correct. If you want to read it let me now and I will forward the email to you.
Aslo, riding solo on an windy day is hard - much harder than riding with a group and/or riding without wind. At your riding pace there should be plenty of people to ride with on the TdV day.
I hope to see you on the road at the event!
