Its funny, but last year when I started out riding, I was super excited to do a 30 mile ride on the weekend and I planned it out like it was a century. This year, a 30 mile ride is a 'nice ride'. You will find that as your experience grows, your mindset changes!

Over the summer, I was riding between 100 and 150 miles per week. Shorter rides during the week (30 miles or so) and then longer ones on the weekend ramping up to a century ride in August and another one in September. Now I'm also commuting (14 miles each way), so I hope to maintain an 85-100 mile/week pace through the winter. (On top of regular gym workouts )
