For what it's worth (i.e. very little) my rides averaged 47,9 km (just under 30 miles) this year (Jan 1st to today).

My current weekplanning is:
2x 2hrs (about 35 miles) (on tuesday and thursday)
2x 3.5hrs (about 56 miles) (on saturday and sunday)
I think lots of us have to reserve longer rides for weekends, esp. since the days are shortening. With the light available at the end of the day last week, I was lucky to get in an hour.
Do what you can and what you enjoy.
I've been doing 20-25 miles per ride 2-3 times a week. But, then, I was riding hybrid until I got my road bike about 3 weeks ago. Season's almost over here. I'm going to work on increasing that next season.

Right now I canot ride, but FWIW, when I could ride I averaged a little over 100 miles a month. Not a lot compared to many on here, but my first time a bike ever was in July, so I was spending more time on technique so I would be safe on the roads and not a danger to other riders.

My distances vary, but I average 8 - 14 miles, 5 days a week. I occasionally go farther, but I tend to get bored after about an hour.
