I built one a while back too. I run mine with 28mm tyres and mudguards. I commute on it, bike pack and use it for club runs. It is very different to my carbon bikes and full on winter bike, but it is great fun. Comfort wise 100 miles should be fine, hill wise, that is up to you.

First outing on the new SS bike yesterday. A short 22 km (i had a Zwift ToW stage 5 to do so limited myself to a familiarity ride), Average just under 30 kph/18 mph so quite please. No big hills, in all ascent of 115 metres. Will be trying some longer, hillier rides in the coming weeks.
Bike is a 2017 Genesis Flyer off ebay for £230 - well chuffed. Immaculate bike, looks like it's hardly been used. Rides very smooth, and a nice 42/16 gear.

i am back on my single speed The Pollard has arrived after its winter hibernation .
i like the simplicity of single speeders especially when combined with a retro steel frame
