Recovery for 3 - 100+ Mile days in saddle?

Well its one month today I will be getting ready to head off to London to start my London to Paris ride with the BR group.
Training is going as well as it can taking my shoulder into consideration, but the only area I am still concerned about is my day to day recovery.
We are doing 3 consecutive days riding over 100 miles a day, I want some tips on my recovery technique for the evening to ensure im ready to go the next day and not in paid as soon as I wake up.
Any tips welcome guys!
Thanks

Ensure that you don't go too into the red on each days ride, and finish each ride with a very good stretch and cool down to relax your muscles (massages are excellent if available).
Eat a heck of a lot, constantly.
Make sure you eat loads of greens as well. You're going to be breaking into your bodies reserves in every way, so need to make sure you replenish all of the vitamins and minerals you use up (typically your 5 a day goes up to about 15 a day if you're doing that kind of exercise day after day).
Sleep lots.
Minimise off the bike activity, so don't go to the pub/shopping at the end of each day.
Try doing 2x100 milers over a weekend, and testing some recovery strategies for saturay night. See what works for you.

Sit down in boozer,rather than stand at the bar.
Sorted!
Yeah, make the first two pints soft drinks/rehydration then the next 6 or 7 alchol you deserve it. Always end with a pint of water though.
If there's someone stronger in the group make sure they have more alchol than you.
That way you'll spend the first few hours with your head in so much pain that you won't notice your legs/back/arms. then when the hang over goes round about lunch time you'll feel much better.
I think the key line in his statement was "I just had two pints of stella"
take 3 pairs of the best padded shorts you can afford
get out of the saddle on hills to give you undercarriage a rest

I also have had good results from wearing a pair of compression tights under my jeans etc after my post ride shower.
