There are eighteen aid stations along the way where you can have a drop bag. That's not counting the non-drop-bag checkpoints where you can probably get a couple of sweets and a cup of water. The checkpoints are friendly, and after a few hours they aren't so busy they can't help you to fill your pack or whatever. If you don't get a crew don't stress too much, I didn't use a crew last year for the 100 km and I won't use one this year for the 100 miles.
On the other thread there was a link to a spreadsheet with distances and times for the checkpoints. Go over that and have a look at the duration between checkpoints, and it will give you a good idea of what to put into each checkpoint's drop bag. If you have any issues with that, put a couple of questions up here and we'll all share whatever we can contribute.
