Perhaps modify your planned participation?
Also, that isn't really a lot of time to train for something that large. I think you'd need to start earlier, and have some years behind you in cycling.

Don't mean to discourage; sounds dangerous, that's all.

Edit: keep in mind that the training plan is designed for an experienced cyclist. Perhaps a challenging goal could be a half century one day, and 25 miles the second. Believe me. That would be extremely challenging, and a worthwhile accomplishment.
I think it's challenging but doable, depending in part on how well conditioned she otherwise is. My first full year of cycling, I did a 160-mile ride in one day at a 19-mph pace, another two-day ride of 175 miles, and a 6-day, 400-mile tour in Tennessee. I rode 5200 miles that year, total. Now I busted my butt to do those things, but I did them, and I can't say that I was in perfect shape when I started, nor was I 20 years old. So, ya never know.
The harder thing that I see is that she's going to be training for the ride while also training for a half marathon. That strikes me as a lot of stress to put on her body.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
