Probably doesn't matter, so that's as good a plan as any.
I just mean whether you ride or don't ride much in the next two weeks won't matter a lot as long as you don't completely overdo it in the last few days leading up to the century. . I wouldn't stop riding completely in the next two weeks, but if you went from 50 miles to 70 without any ill effects, you've already done the hard work of building up your endurance abilities, so any kind of riding in the next two weeks will serve the purposes of keeping your legs ready to go. Don't overthink this, just do whatever kind of riding you like the most for the next two weeks. Your body will tell you if it's too much, and I don't think you're going to lose your powers by "underdoing" it at this point.
