Can one realistically do 270 km in one day? Québec-Montreal

I've been thinking about going to visit a friend in Montréal and his place is exactly 270 km from my place. I usually do the distance in bus, but I've recently been thinking about doing this by bike.

I figure if I keep a speed of 20 kph I could do it in more or less 13 hours (plus 1.5 hours to rest, eat and relax), but the longest I've ever ridden was 4 hours straight averaging 25 kph. It wasn't hard, just long.

I'm a utility biker and I get on my bike every day for various reasons so I'm relatively well in shape.

Could I do it?
