Mostly I agree with the sentiment behind Cranium's comment. But I'll clean it up a bit:

How about you get a bike and start riding ... say 20 miles a day for 4 times a week.
Then up it to 35 miles 4 days a week.
Then ...

Let us know when you've discovered the reason for chamois cream (or its alternatives).

Riding regular 60 milers will teach you some things.

But complications arise, not on a linear projection, probably more like an exponential function.

Above noted, however, also note that PacTour frequently averages 113 miles a day for about 30 days, to cross the continent.

So ... 120 miles a day is do-able.
But only if you've trained your body and brain for it.

Is from now until June enough time to train for it?

You decide.
