I would recommend doing one more oil change before Saturday--not because of the ride, but with these Chinese thumpers, it is always good to change out the shipping oil after purchase, and then after 100 miles. Then, your 3rd change should start be at the intervals that Baodiao/Boom recommends for your engine (500/600? miles or 1000? miles?). I wouldn't worry about checking the oil during the ride, otherwise. Since you are still breaking in the engine, you probably don't want to push it to the screaming limit(s)--wait until after the break-in period is over. Otherwise, I couldn't imagine a 100 mile trip (I am guessing over 3 to 4 hours including stop(s) for food or scenery) being more than an easy exercise for the bike. Let us know how everything worked out with a follow-up post, and if you are in a scenic area, make sure you post pictures--the more the better (and include your bike in the pictures).
