That's way too ambitious for me. And... my Midwestern weather doesn't allow for such planning. I may only have a 2 hour window of decent weather (as forecast on my weather app). I know that to reach my cycling mileage goal I have to average at least 20 miles per ride. But I can't just set home and wait for nice weather either. So in the winter I get in some really short rides.... and make up the difference in summer with longer (than 20 mile) rides.
