Self supported 50? There is a big difference between a self supported ride and a supported ride. Having designated stops where you eat and drink helps more than you think. It can be done on your own, but it takes a lot of discipline to take on enough food and water.
Great job! Keep it up and you will go further than you ever imagined. I too once thought a century was just crazy. Last year some friends and I did a double century in a day (STP).
