Age and Average Weekly Mileage

Hey BFers, I'm doing a little statistics course project, so if all you commuters could help me out by simply stating your age and average weekly mileage that you commute via bicycle, that'd be fantastic (:.

Thanks!

Weekly commute miles:

min 70 (14/day),
max 90+ (longer, 11+ miles detours on the way back home if the weather is nice)

Not counting weekend rides and errands.
