Please, please, please, please... find a good guy/gal who knows about bikes, and who can fit you to your bike and vice-versa! It's that important. You will then be able to complete a century with a modest amount of training.... If the bike does not fit, you WILL develop aches and pains - some of which can end your bicycling altogether. The clipless pedals will allow you to ride with upwards of 20% more efficiency, and you will feel as one with your bike... These zen things are good.
Okay, good luck... you can do 50 easily.
