1st Century Ride Training Advice

I'm training for a century (100mi) on Oct 25.
The ride as alot of hills in the middle 50.
Our training ride yesterday was 64mi and so far the longest I have ever ridden.
We did a hilly section of the century and they were hard but I got through them fine.

I did the ride in good shape stayed with the faster forward group and was not real tired.

My question is the training ride schedule.
It is as follows:

Oct 4th 75 mile (flat)
Oct 11 No ride because the group is doing an organized ride (metric century) Oct 10 which I cannot attend.
Oct 18 50 mile ride.
Oct 25 The century ride.

The ride leader told me if I can do the 64 with hills and the 75 in good shape I'll have no trouble with the century, but I would like to have more confidence.

I think I need to do a longer ride than 75 but I need your opinion on that.
I have an 84 mile ride mapped out which I can do solo on the 11th.
