Would that be a legit century that I could stand on and talk about here without looking too stupid? It would be a 7AM to midnight kind of a thing.
If you want a feel for a century keep your butt on the bike. 97miles with 7k of climbing is a moderately difficult century. A good solo rider could do that in 5hrs or less. As unterhausen said, if you want a good comparison you've got to put some effort into it.
