Los Angels to San Diego is also a two-day ride for most people too. But it works and there are plenty of places to stop.

I know that a folded up bunch of loops can be an actual "century" but somehow I think it is better to cover some distance and go someplace. If I were in good enough shape I could do five laps of a common loop route near my house and call it a century but that would be boring as I've already done that loop countless times over the years. One-way trip are the way to cover the most new ground.
