59 years old, been riding all my adult life, mainly leisure/commuting but last couple of years longer rides 30 miles+, longest ride 62 miles a few weeks ago (ouch)

Welcome aboard! There's a helpful forum for commuting and one for older riders like you & me (63 tomorrow). I still learn things on this site and I am sure that you will get benefit from it also.

1st metric century, eh? It's a biggy. I remember mine, just a couple years ago. I thought it was insane.
I've done a couple imperial centuries since, and the last 20 miles is never any fun. Neck is getting stiff and butt is getting sore, so I only do a couple per year.
But metrics? Once your bum, neck and wrists are acclimatized, I bet you'll find they're just right for a long ride.

Welcome, from SE Wisconsin!

Enjoy your stay.

Welcome! You are amazing, I also want to travel such a distance at that age.

Please tell us what you ride.

and Welcome.
