As someone who has ridden a 50 miler with you, I can say that you are totally ready.
As others have said, you'll have plenty of chances to get off the bike and eat and rest up a bit. I have spoken with many people who have done RAGBRAI and all have had a great time. Most of them were recreational riders who didn't regularly do that many miles in a day but were so busy having fun that the miles flew by.
Of course a few "Betties" group rides before couldn't hurt your training any.

The thing you really must do is look for me and DH and slow down and say hi as you are passing us. We'll be fairly easy to spot, a couple on matching blue recumbents. Other than that, I have no advice, as this year is my first.
I have no idea what to expect on RAGBRAI, but I'm taking along my senses of humor and adventure. I'll be looking for you.Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.
