Sadly Marty, I've heard people bragging on metric centuries and have to turn away before I LMAO, 62 miles really isn't that much to do, especially if the climbing is limited and it's smooth trail or worse road on a road bike.
Longest trail ride I did was 87 miles, took me 10 hours and it was 10k feet of climbing, oh and it was also at 10k or above, so I kind of call it a century for most terrain, most would ride and at lower elevation. Also it was on a 34lb bike and a loaded out hydration pack, because well, I hate to bet stranded or need to ask anyone for help if I get a mechanical.
