Otways Classic (204km) vs. Three Peaks (235km) difficulty

[TheWire]

Hi all,

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts about how these two rides compare.

I completed the Falls Creek Three peaks ride in 2021, in 10hr 45m It's 235km, with 4500m elevation.

Life got in the way and I had two years off the bike (but was still strength training). Recently came back and have put in 3 months of solid riding, 8ish hours per week.

I'm thinking of entering the 204km Otways classic on April 27th. So another 3+ months away. It has ~2900m of elevation, so far less than peaks.

I'm wondering if anyone has completed both rides and how you think they compare in terms of difficulty? I'm kind of trying to get a sense of how possible it will be for me to complete.

Any tips on that ride or training for it would be appreciated!!!
