miles - I ride brevets. I am your age :-) I have good luck at the 200k, am finding 300k a bit challenging these days, and just abandoned a 400k at 175 miles last weekend :-( I did manage to achieve Super Randonneur twice, but my stomach seems to be checking out about 250k these days, and with it, my will to live.
But yes, I ride long. I can ride a 200k with no training/preparation, because I ride them so often. I also try to do most of my local errands by bike; I can get to the grocery, post office, library, haircuts, battery store, bookstore, etc quite easily; all within 4 miles of the house. Utility/errand bike is my Bleriot, which used to be the rando bike, so it is an over the top utility bike, if you know what I mean. With generator lighting, so I never worry about being caught out in the dark. My problem is finding the motivation to go out and ride 100ks solo during the week (retired). I like company.
