I did a century last year and felt I had 20 miles left in me and did a ride the next day feeling good. And I wouldn't consider myself a good rider. I think one must at least be able to ride in an A group ride well. I think good = endurance plus some degree of speed. Endurance alone...unless we are talking RAAM riders doesn't cut it for me.
