3 hours is what Google maps suggested. For that distance then yeah maybe first time riding it will take a bit longer. Also type of bike would influence it a fair bit too.
My current bike commute is 80km a week and I just started doing it when getting the job because it isn't that far.
Yeah I get ya. 80 per week, assuming you work 5 days a week is 8 km one way with 8h (or however long is your work day) of rest inbetween.
Doing 50 in one go is a different matter xD
It wasn't specifically 1 go though, its comparing to a horse riding for the full day. So you can take breaks as long as you do it within the full day. Around 12 hours of daylight, obviously it varies but that impacts the horse we are comparing to as well. 3-4 hours of constant riding with as many breaks as you like during the day.
