As promised, I am posting to find out how MDHillSlug did and to let you know that I completed the century. the day was beautiful, not too windy, sunny, and about 85 degrees. The terrain was as anticipated, rolling hills t/o the ride and rest stops every 10 miles. The screw to my crank came loose right out of the starting gate, so the sweeper vehicle helped me out, and got me back together. The lady that I rode with got a flat yards away from one of the rest stops and was graciously helped by staff and fellow riders. I plan on doing this again next year as this was such a great time and really nice scenery.
