Still. 20 mph for 3 hours is some going in a loop where there cannot be wind assistance all the way.
I once tried a one hour tt on British Cycling's closed racing circuit at Middlesbrough.
There was a slight headwind on the very small up gradient on the back straight and quite a few turns which would slow me down. I did 19.8 miles I seem to remember. Just short. I was 10 years younger and a fair bit quicker than I am now and I was tired at the end. No way could I have done another 2 hours at that rate.
While I dont doubt the OP if he can do 20 mph for 3 hours he should think about completing .
