Why not do the metric century with 4,700 of climbing or the half century ride with 2,385 of climbing instead? The point is pleasure, and either one of these will give you the shirt and a workout. There's no shame in that. "Discretion is the better part of valour." says Shakespeare.
The website says that you can bail out of the century at the 65 mile mark, miss only one mountain and get a scenic 9 mile descent back to the start/finish line. That sounds like an attractive option as well. You'll know best how it is going at that point.
