Limit to default routing?

How many hops could a ping take using default routes? If I have 4 routers A through D, each with a default route pointed to the next; could a ping from A make it all the way to D? My thinking is that it should because it doesn't know where the ping wants to go but it knows to forward it to the next hop. I know there are IGPs and and BGP for more complex and specific routing.
