It sounds like you ride a lot and almost every day. That's probably the biggest factor - you're in good shape for the trip.
A couple of years ago I did a 510 mile day as the last day of a 9 day trip. I was tired but felt fine the next morning. My day consisted of 150 miles in rain over a mountain pass then 150 with wicked cross winds, then 100 great sunny miles over a mountain pass, ending with the last 110 on a very busy highway - those were the hardest. A fridn of mise was with me on the trip and he bailed out at around 300 miles. I communte every day and would be very comfortable with riding 500 miles one day and then 400 the next. The biggest problem will be your seat. Have you upgraded? If not your backside hurting may be the biggest problem. I ride a 96 50.
