    You might try this link. This is for the STP ride, which is a Sat/Sun ride of 100 pretty flat miles each. Maybe your training would vary a little if your ride is a one-day event, but this should have some good info for you, including a mileage build up.

    Last year I used the diablo schedule to train for my century, and the century ran very well. I'm disappointed it is no longer there, because i have another century coming up in June!

    Here is what I am using this time - it is similar to the Diablo one:

    Easy means, don't overdo it.
    Pace means, at the pace you expect to do the century (so, if you want to do the century in 6 hours, for example, your pace would be +/- 16 mph... if you have a speedometer you can try to keep yourself in pace.
    Brisk means above pace, heart is a-thumpin.

    You can also change your rest days, move the schedule around a bit. I also cross-trained in there - did a day of running instead of cycling on an "easy" day, for example.

    Best wishes,
    Indi
    I can do five more miles.
