2 weeks to train for hills...help!

I have a bit of a dilemma. I am 2 weeks away from my second century ride and have been following the same training plan as the first. I did ok on my first century, but not great. I have been training a little bit harder for this one, but the heat has been sapping my energy. Today I decided to look at the elevation chart for both centuries. The first one I did really wasn't that bad compared to the second one I have here soon. I have been training on some more hilly terrain than I did the first time, but not like what I will face in 2 weeks.

Here is my question:

Should I use the remaining time until the ride training for hills or the distance?

What kind of workouts should I be doing?

This is what my schedule looks like up to the big ride. Would you change anything?

Monday: 20 mi ride @ zone 2 effort w/ 4 x 1 mi hill repeats
Tuesday: 25 mi ride @ zone 3 effort
Wednesday: 30 mi ride @ zone 4 w/ 4 x 1 mi hill repeats
Thursday: off
Friday: 20 mi ride @ zone 3 effort
Saturday: 70 mi ride @ zone 3 effort
Sunday: 20 mi ride @ zone 2 effort

Monday: off
Tuesday: 20 mi ride @ zone 3 effort w 4 x 1 mi hill repeats
Wednesday: 10 mi ride @ zone 3 effort
Thursday: 10 mi ride @ zone 3 effort
Friday: off
Saturday: Tuscaloosa Hot Hundred 103 mi ride
Sunday: 20 mi recovery ride @ zone 2 effort

Please be nice. I am genuinely asking for some help. Does this look good or should I do something different?
