Yep. But I like long races/rides with lots of climbing. Most people don't need to do 5 hour rides with 10,000' of climbing for training. It took me a few years to get to that point. If your goal is racing crits or to finish a metric century then you don't need to do rides longer than 3 hours. If your goal is to finish a full century then having done some 4 hour rides would be good.
