A century ride is not a problem -Doesn't matter what bike you have and up till recently- All my rides were on Mountain bikes.

The one thing that will get you is butt pain and hills- if you haven'y done many of them. So find a steep hill and ride it. If thats ok- do 2 hours riding before the steep hill. And on the Butt pain- Just do a 4 hour non stop ride and see if it hurts.

There's plenty more tips to pass onto you- but get fit and come back.
