I second jonnyo. Wrong time to change anything.
My bike plan is similar to your thinking, I bring 2 750ml bottles with me on the 112. Each has 6 gels and 4 scoops HEED dissolved into water - 1000 cal each, I have the breakout somewhere. I drink 1/5 a bottle every 10 miles starting at mile 10 and keep only water in my BTA, which I try to drink dry every 15/20 miles or so, depends on the weather, but I will top it off at every bottle handoff - only water. I have done half sips in 5 mile increments as well. The ability to absorb the concentrate is key, water is your friend, don't neglect it, if you do something similar don't neglect it, my .02.
Regards,
J. Smith
