JoAnn -
I don't have anything to offer on the physical improvements front other than what you are already doing - continuing to exercise and improving slowly. I know that my accident was very different than yours, but I experienced the same frustation level that you are when it took me much longer than I expected and wanted to get back to my pre-accident riding shape. I had hoped to do a short tour 5 months after hitting the ground, but that was too soon for my body.

On the century front though, May is pretty early in the year. Although I know that many folks here rely on riding on the trainer to build up mileage, in my experience it's the miles on the road that help more in building up to a comfortable century. If it were me, I'd probably opt for the metric century in May and a full century a little further into the outdoor cycling season. (That's just one opinion though; I'm sure you'll have many people who feel that their trainer miles are enough...)

I'm sending more wishes for continued healing your way. I think that sometimes slower healing progress than we wish is our body's way of telling us to take our time.
