I have ridden a few MS150's and usually opt for the double century each time. One thing to think about for the night between the two days is a couple of the Ben-Gay patches, or other brands. One up between the shoulder blades and at the base of the neck, the other on the lower back. It is amazing how much these help. Also, if they have a massage tent, take full advantage of it. A few beers will not hurt either. Realize that when you first hop on the bike the second day, your saddle is going to be pressing into all the pressure points that are sore. However, after the first five miles or so, you will be fine. It sounds like you are well prepared and none of this is new to you, but I thought I would state it, just in case. Good luck and God Bless. I would say you are more than ready. I have ridden a few MS150′s and usually opt for the double century each time.
