I was asking about the elevation because I'm aware of Florida's pancake-flat reputation. I've never ridden an organized ride longer than 45 miles-- everything I've just gone out and done solo. All of my rides over 100 miles have had between 3,000 and 4,000 feet, so flat by the standards of my location.
I think I'd rather enjoy a century ride with 1,000 feet of climbing in it. Just to mix things up, if anything.
