Thanks for the advice. Would 75-100 miles be a good interval to check the plugs?

That's roughly what I shoot for, I check them about once a week, especially with dropping temps. I also try to make sure the last ride before I check them wasn't something unusual like a quick 2 mile ride or one where I was sitting in stop and go the whole time.
