I ride 35 miles pretty much everyday, but I do it at a fairly leisurely pace (17-18 MPH) on flat ground. If I have a big climbing weekend ride planned, I take Friday off.
Then again, I DO fall asleep in front of the boob tube rather frequently.
Must be nice that 18mph is leisurely.
At this time of year, cold, air density, extra clothing, I'm a lot slower (10 - 15 %).
