Training for first metric century... only 47 days left, yikes!

I signed up to do a metric century charity ride on Nov 4th and I need help making a training program. I'm really pushing the limit here, because I *just* dusted my bike off for the season. Yikes. I've been spinning aggressively for 1 hour sessions a few times a week, but have logged minimal bike time. Double yikes.

What is the longest distance I should ride before the event? I've done a half marathon and the longest I did was 10 miles before, so does that mean the farthest I should train to would be 45-50 miles? Also, if you have any pre/during event nutrition tips I'd appreciate it!

Ha, I hope I make it!
