I am looking at rides in my area, this route on Sept 30, 2018. At this point my longest ride has been 11 mi (last Saturday). Had planned on going 20ish today but I am off the bike for three days because of an sinus/bronchitis infection. I think I can get the training in for this, I have been riding 4-5 days a week since April 1. I do one day hard, a couple of recovery rides, a mid week longish ride and then a weekend long ride was my plan. Planning on doing some hilly rides.
I have been making my training plan kind of based off what I did when I was running marathons.
But here is the thing, is this route maybe too much for a first timer?

My road bike is a 1991 Trek 1200. It is pretty much stock except I have upgraded the tires to these

Here is the specs on the bicycle if that helps:

I have also upgraded the pedals to Shimano dual sized pedals that can use regular shoes and bike shoes. Those original pedals were clips and straps, I can't imagine riding in those.
I am looking at getting some lights, I know that is important riding and being seen.
Thanks in advance for all the comments and advice!
