The file about Double Century training looks good, especially the slow
buildup and the variations in pace. Since this is a two-day event, it
looks like you could get by doing just the first half of the schedule,
as you would not be doing 200 miles in one day. Definitely you want to
train more than on the weekends, if at all possible. You need to build
up mileage slowly, and trying to cram it in on weekends may just tear
you down.

An 8- or 9-week program would allow for some short evening rides in
the Columbus area. One caveat: if you haven't ridden at all, I don't
think the slow build up in the first week of that schedule would keep
you from hurting yourself doing 40 miles on Saturday, so it's best to
have done some spinning or trainer work ahead of time.

PS: I couldn't open the "easy century" version.
