Bikes: Several bikes, Road, Mountain, Commute, etc.

Plus, keep in mind, centuries are good training rides for double centuries.

Yep.
Worth doing at least once, and it sounds like you're ready for it.

Just finished my first one this past weekend. Hadn't planned to, hadn't prepared, but I was so close I decided to go for it.

Good luck.

And double centuries are excellent training for triple centuries.
