I'd imagine you'd need to dial the intensity waaaaaaay down to keep it sustainable for a month.
I haven't had the weather yet this year, but for the last few years, I have been doing imperial centuries every non-rainy Saturday during bike season for the last few years. I've also done centuries two days in a row. I don't think I could stand doing more days in a row because of the boredom that would set in. People who do this tend to ride circles around their home, so it's the same few miles again and again and again and.... That makes it possible to reliably keep the streak of days going. I'd go nuts doing that.
I still don't know if op has ever ridden anything approaching a century. I'd think that the first question that needs to be answered before you could know if you can tolerate 30 would be can you tolerate one?
