This is why I laugh when someone encourages me to do a century. I did a metric one day, but it took 8 hours of clock time. I figure a century would be at least 12 hours, if I could somehow endure 9 hours of saddle time.

In general, I'm okay up to about 3 (4 on a good day) hours in the saddle (with enough breaks taken). After that, I don't enjoy the ride much.
