I'm doing it for the first time this year (90 miles) it will be my longest ride ever. I did 70 this weekend to see where I'm at physically, I think 90 will be very doable.
If you did 70 in ATX, especially on the West side, you'll be good to go.
A friend sent me this ride for next weekend, which I'm seriously considering:

+- West Side Hill Ride (route #1)08/28 (Sat) 8:00am B-4 46 mi
Inspired by the Tour das Hugel, this ride series covers West Austin's abundant supply of steep hills. We generally average only 14-16mph due to the steep terrain, but these are solidly B-effort rides. We regroup at the top of the climbs. Route #1 features Mt. Bonnell, Mesa, Beauford, Courtyard (back side), Toro Canyon, Terrace Mountain, Lost Creek (westbound), Barton Creek, and River Hills.
