How challenging is 80 miles on a bicycle, at one time?

I am planning to do several bike rides to and from Toledo and Vermillion Ohio. It's about 80 miles one way, and at about 10 mph it would take approximately 7 hours, one way.

I have never known my speed, so I don't know if I would/could actually go faster. Also would it be too much to ride both ways in a day. I haven't road my bike this winter (the weather is too horrible), but in the spring time I'll be biking regularly. On an average ride I'll go 15 to 20 miles in just over an hour. So, is 80 too much? How bout 160 (both ways)? Also what is a average speed of an experienced biker with good equipment?

thanks
