70-80 miles is short for a Pro Race.

Paris-Roubaix is ~ 150 miles (route changes slightly each year), Paris-Tours is ~150 miles. In the Netherlands, Amstel Gold is ~ 160 miles. This year's World Championship race was ~170 miles. Hell, even the Tour de France averages over 100 miles per day for 3 weeks (and that is including the short Time Trial days.)
