I want to do a 100K but I couldn't convince any friends to start road biking this year, plus they couldn't even buy bikes at all and my only concern is if get into a break down or puncture while I'm in a remote area as I've tried replacing my tube before at home and just couldn't do it and had to go to a shop.
Maybe it's time to go tubeless for solo riding safety?

I'd highly suggest taking an afternoon to watch a variety of different youtube videos to try different methods of replacing tubes. It's a pain in the ass but it's an indespensible skill because one day you will get a flat, and walking your bike home sucks.
Tire levers really help to get the final 5% of the bead inside the rim, I recently got some new gator skins and while it does seem impossible at first, you'll get it on there
