I still plan on doing a century, but in general I think I'll shorten my rides for a while- more like 25-35 miles with a more focused goal, like upping an average mph, or going balls-out on a set of climbs, or whatever. And some good spins on the flats. I've been banging pretty hard.
I'm feeling solid aerobically and fear no hill. My main biking buddy is whining. Haha, love it.

Great improvement! A century should not be a problem if you're starting to log that many miles!
