Sometimes, I've commuted to work & back (8 miles RT) then get home & my wife says "let's go ride" so I get another 16 miles or so. But the weather has to be nice, it has to NOT be so d*mn hot, I've got to have enough energy & not need to eat dinner right away, etc. I like the extra miles but don't have that much opportunity. If I'm really energetic, I can ride early in the morning then come home, shower & commute in to work. That happens once in a blue moon or when I'm training in the couple of weeks before a longer weekend ride.

Working full-time & getting more than 20 miles a day riding is pretty tough, in my experience, simply from a 'time available' standpoint.
