How is that humanly possible?
Ride 25-30 miles every weekday before work (1:15 - 2:00 of wall clock time), go for a not short 4-5 hour ride every Saturday, and optionally do an occasional 100-200 mile long ride (8-20 hours depending on mountains and time stopped).

Don't skip days.

Rest on Sundays.

I rode over 7000 miles in 2015 and 8000 in 2016. Got caught up in work 2017-2018 and am working on getting back in shape.
