What's a sweet spot? On a summer Saturday on a road bike, it's 80-100 miles. Sunday, 50-70. On a summer weekday, it's 30-50.
In the winter on a cross bike, with or without studded tires, it depends on road conditions and temperature. Say 20 °F and clear roads? 40-60 miles. 0 degrees and bad road conditions? 15-25.
I'm 60, and these numbers haven't gone down any.......yet.
