@ BBeasley - I ride a hybrid bike. 2009 GT Transeo 5.0. I ride on roads, MUPs and through some parks. But at the end of the day they are all paved roads. Terrain always includes hills. I usually do about 3 - 4 miles on mostly flat terrain while I warm up, the rest is hilly. Right now I think the 20 mile route I shared was about 550ft of elevation. There is a different route that I sometimes take (although not recently) that is closer to about 1200ft of climbing. The rides I shared were only the long rides. I ride in between. I had 2 rides in between the two mentioned above. Outside of a week and a half I was sick in May I get about 3-4 rides in a week. I have less time to ride during the week so I might do about 12-15 miles at a harder pace. And depending on how my legs feel I might take a ride at a slower pace. I'm still trying to find the right balance of pushing effort/distance and pacing myself and getting some rest.
