My daily commute to work is ten miles each way.
One of my favorite road trips is from Phoenix to Wickenburg, AZ. I have done it four times so far. Very scenic and Wickenburg is loaded with history
Another one is simply going down I-17. It is legal to cycle on the shoulder once you are north of Phoenix. I have gone camping in Black Canyon City a few times and last Thanksgiving I cycled to Camp Verde and back. 180 mile round trip. Some spectacular sights along the way.
