That sounds about right for me too. A very high percentage of my rides are 20 to 30 miles. Wind and heat can be big factors in what satisfies me though. I generally don't feel it is worth my time if I cant ride for at least 90 minutes or so. But none of this is to disagree with the "fun" advocates of course... I'm all for that.
