I don't ride outdoors during the week at all - I rely on high intensity computrainer interval training at a training center I belong to. My long rides are on the weekend. And they are long.

And I wouldn't say commute miles are junk at all. They're a mainstay of my husband's training schedule.
WOW Congrats on the Brevet series!!!! The thing about commute miles is at least in my town of San Francisco, there is A LOT OF STOPPING. So I may ride 7 miles to work, but it takes me over an hour with all the traffic of cars and dodging pedestrians ect.

This week I rode: 30 miles on wednesday, 40 miles on thurs, 35 miles on friday, 20 miles on sunday, 40 miles on monday, 35 miles on tuesday. All at least 2000 ft of climbing per day. Wow 200 exactly! Is this a bad training schedule since they are all about the same distance? The problem is I just like to ride. I am not training for anything, but I do want to be fast if I want beat someone up the hill!
