Here's a site I happened across (while I was looking up info on back strengthening using yoga) which isn't super-specific (I take that back, it does get pretty specific in parts!) and seems to give lots of good pointers

Good luck and welcome to TE.
This looks close to what I did. I rode 4-5 days a week, with a long ride on the weekend. I added 10% or 5 miles to my long ride each weekend up to 60-65 (35, 40, 45, 15, 50, 15, 55, 15, 60). Add recovery weekends in as your long ride builds, so you don't burn out. If you're century will be hilly, you might want to make a conscious effort one day a week to ride a hilly route or ride portions of the actual course, if possible.

My BIL's longest ride was 50, but he rides 20 miles pretty-much every day.
