You can do it! Just pace yourself and don't forget to hydrate and eat.
I'm just over two weeks before my first century ride myself. I'd appreciate any words of wisdom you have after you accomplish it.

Rock on!
I'm heading out this weekend for my first metric century in quite a few years. I'm sure we'll both do just fine.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Good luck! Remember to pace yourself, hydrate, eat, and take a break when you can't feel your butt any more.
