In practical terms 90% of bike trips would be done under 5 miles, but I've gone 20-30 miles just for the fun of it.

Your original criteria was "from one end of town to another". Around
here, 20-30 miles *won't* get you there. We are very spread out - the
glory of modern suburbia.

I haven't unleashed my best weapons yet. We got two road bikes READY FOR THE ROAD, but the roads are not ready for us.

Actually we are cut off at less than 2 miles. It's a problem that has more to do with STUPID DESIGN than urban sprawl.
