As the title says, I have 5 weeks til the 200km Audax event starts. I have already done multiple 90km and century rides. My last 90km ride was for a half ironman last 2 days ago, averaging a speed of 32kmh with an all-out effort. I have only been training for around 8 months since I stopped during the pandemic. My longest ride was in 2020, which was 130km.

Is it a stupid idea to jump from 100km to 200km in 5 weeks? Should I join, or will it just be a miserable time? I’m not planning on going fast; maybe I’ll just maintain 20-25kmh.

For context the 200km ride will relatively be flat
