You'd win that bet. Mention riding anything over 20 or 30 miles on a hybrid on some of the other forums and you get screamed at.

Congrats!
Once I started doing them regularly, the longer rides became easy. My typical preferred ride distance on is between 40 and 70 miles. Couple of years ago I did 12 metric or longer rides on my hybrid during the riding season, including on 5 consecutive weekends.
