Welcome to TE.
There's lots of multi day tour experience here including ALC'ers and other charity rides. I've participated 5 times: crewed once (that's harder than riding), led training rides, rode ALC 3, 4, & 6.
I've learned a lot here and credit the TE gals wisdom with getting me up and over the ride.
You're in for a wonderful experience and thanks for riding.
Sounds like you're doing well. An indoor trainer, spin classes, ride to work and or errands, lets you stay on track with base miles through the rainy season.
On my ALC seasons I've thought of the Cinderella ride as a "test ride" for ALC. It's a relatively easy early metric that gave me a chance to see how my bike and body and doing. If you do that, and maybe a recovery ride the next day you will do well. Then keep going, add hills and harder workouts, find a red dress and you're there.
Surf on over to the "Getting to know you" thread when you have a chance.
