"Assuming the 2, 3, 4, and 600 are usually each two or three weeks apart..."
That seems kind of tightly scheduled. Is that like in Alaska or somewhere else where they have to squeeze them together into a really tight window? I usually think of a series spaced out 4 weeks per event. Regardless, I can't give any experience about how I execute a 400 or a 600 because I've never done those distances. I've done about 40 200s and maybe 10 300s and this season I intend to do a 200 every month. What I do to stay ready is ride pretty much every day, and ride as far and as hard as I feel like riding. If I feel like riding easy and riding 10 miles, I do that. If I feel like riding a harder hillier 25 miles, I do that. The preparedness for the 200 next month came from doing the 200 last month. If I had never done a 200, maybe I'd recommend doing at least one 100k ride a week or two in advance to make sure that feels OK. Beyond the 200 the "training" for the next one is the previous one. I think Toshi's "training" this season is pretty similar to what I'm doing. His riding between brevets is mostly commutes and he rides 5 or 6 days a week, and he's having a good season.
