I don't do too many of those but in the past, we have done the Levi ride in northern Cal for the past three years. Its a fun ride and I get to hang with the boys. With that said, all the ones I have been on were 100 mile grinds. After 50-60 miles, the rest stops thin out a little, but its never too bad even in the beginning. Just a lot of riders hanging out taking a rest and go as you wish on your own time. All are polite at letting you out of the parking lot where these things are usually held. Eat something from your pocket every 20-30 miles and you should be fine then eat more at the feeds. Don't get carried away with eating. its no fun riding with a stomach full or even half full. I always go after the fruits at the feeds.
I had a slice of cold pizza this morning and went out for 50 nut busting miles without stopping but I was drained due to lack of riding for three week because of rain. These guys killed me. You will learn your body after riding for some time.
