200 miles a week is a lot of miles but not beyond amateurs. that’s just one long 80-100 mile ride on the weekend and a few short rides during the week. you’d probably have to commute by bike if yu ahve a job and family to get anywhere close to 200 miles. I used to ride 150 a week from commuting alone and was pretty tired on the weekends. I was fit, but not super fit or super fast…my genetics kind of suck in that regard. I am always goign to be at the front of the slow pack or tailing way off the end of the back and losing sight of the fast pack, no matter what. because im slow. andkind of weak.
but 200 isn’t crazy. 300-400 is where it starts to get nuts and pro or pro-wannabee like.
