Long ago, in a youth that is far, far away, I did one in
4:50, but it was a pretty flat course (otoh it was about 109 miles because we got lost). I was with a couple of other riders and we pace-lined throughout. I was the weakest rider by far. Towards the end it was like a USPS TTT; my uncle, playing the part of lance, pulled me and the other guy for about the last 20 miles all by himself. I hung on for dear life.
