Personally, I wouldn't care if you took a nap between trips but some people do. To me, if you rode 50 miles in a day, it's a 50 mile ride. However, I have a friend that usually rides between 50 and 75 miles a day in short trips (10-15 miles each). He's retired and does all of his traveling by bike. You'll never hear him say that he did a 75 mile ride today even though he rode the miles. I, on the other hand, would say I did a 75 mile ride and might even inflate the mileage a little.
