Jim, what a bummer! You aren't seriously considering riding a century one-handed, are you? That's crazy. I know you only need one hand to ride, but sometimes you need that hand for some other purpose, like drinking water or scratching your nose or something. There's no way I'd ride more than five miles one handed. Take it easy! Heal up, man!
Scott, that is cool. I wish I had done RAGBRAI the first time someone tried to get me to do it --this was my brother, in the early 80's or so. He did it a couple times in the 70's and a couple times since then.
