Eh...that's a bit of hyperbole (the hardest 100 in America)...last year, my first doing it, I rode it on a 30lb+ fully fendered IGH Bob Jackson, took a few wrong turns, but easily finished. That said, I wasn't riding at warp speed, as so many people were; yeah, to keep up with the speedsters, it might be a hard ride, but to do it over the course of a leisurely day...as long as your gears are low enough, and it's not your first long ride / first dirt ride...it's fine (that said, my pal who did it with me registered 11,000' of climbing; compared to out west, sure not that much, but all on New England dirt pitches straight up and down). It's fun, there are a lot of great people with great bikes there, and the party at the end was lovely too.
That said...I still think there's nicer riding in my neighborhood, Berkshire County. Perhaps a meetup at the d2r2?
