Even when doing 100's the max I conditioned was about 30 to 35 miles a 
week - which included a 15 to 25 mile ride on the weekend. However, the 
rule of thumb in any sport is to train harder than you play so you will 
not become fatigued so instead of miles I used a lot of intervals of 
sprints during training. The week prior to a ride I'd back way off and 
the week after a ride I'd back way off.

Worked for me.
