Machka does a bunch of randoneurring and brevets, and has some great opinions and advice.

While this wasn't my even close to my first century, I'd have to say it was the BEST one. I too did it with Team in Training. There are some significant hills to it and I remember looking at my computer at mile 80 with the climb up SPooner that's 8 miles long thinking, "F*%#, I'm only doing 8 miles an hour, I have to F*$#ing climb this hil for AN HOUR!"

Thought about doing AMBBR again this year but don't have the time to fundraise and I'm concentrating my efforts on racing this season and getting upgraded.

Have fun and TRAIN hills!
