Not sure what doubles you have in FL, but you can check out the CA site at:

Hope to see you on a double century sometime!

If you had said that with good preparation a double century is very possible and can be quite enjoyable, I would go along with that (in theory at least, I have not ridden more than 110 in a day), but to say there would be no pain involved? Get real! I would not expect extreme pain or unbearable pain, but I would sure expect some pain.
