If you go from not biking to biking 50km good luck with not being able to walk the next few days.

Assuming you even make it that.

It's a possible distance yes, but not if you're not used to it.

Also Google isn't really reliable like that. If you input a 200km journey into Google it estimates 48 hours. Which is insane. 40 km a day is considered a fairly good backpacking pace. That would in reality take nearly 5 days to make that walk.

Google estimates average speed while doing an activity, not what is feasible for a long duration

I suspect the same could be said about horse riding for an entire day.
