177 KM each way (109 miles x 2)
In U.S. terms it would be roughly a century. In Canadian terms its a ride to the next town (which just happens to be 177km away)
The good news is that as long as I make it there I will have motivation to ride back, other wise I am stranded out of town and I have a plane to catch the next morning, so I shall return
P.S.
For reference:
25km = 15.5 miles
50km=31 miles
90 km = 56 miles
My 23km/hr ride for 90km felt ok (14mph for 56 miles), I felt that I had a lot more in the tank, but who knows if I had pushed the pace a just a bit more if I would have struggled at the end? My sense is that I need to do that again soon and up the pace to find out, as a bench mark if nothing else.
Seriously though, these short rides are one thing because they are over before I am depleted. Longer is where I have to learn a bunch.
