There are many amateur events which offer extreme long distances over multiple days. For the version which mimics the Tour de France...see here: http://www.tourdeforce.org.uk/the-challenge/

And for posterity, I too have gone from thinking that the Olympic RR might be a fun day out on the bike where I can find a more obscure spot thanks to my knowledge of the route, to me thinking its best not to bother and I'm better off watching from home and then going out for 10 minutes to watch...
