That would be a "century" ride. You pay a modest fee, usually benefitting a charity or a bike club. You go 100 miles, or a "metric century" of 100k(@60 miles); no time limits. You'll get food and drinks at rest stops, and probably a support van, with a bike shop volunteer who can help you with flats and stuff. Odds are good you can find one nearby; it's good fun.
