You've received some good advice. I think you're ready for it.
I did my first century last year and loved it. Not sure I'll do another one this year but it's nice to be able to claim this milestone. I didn't do much training for the event. I only had about 300 miles for the year, did a metric century the day before and rode the century the next day. I did take advantage of the rest stops, kept well hydrated and didn't have any problems other than a numb bottom the last few miles
