Did you happen to tell him, 'Ugh... 500 miles.' :P Granted, you might be doing either seven one-mile days, or one seven-mile day per week... but this is the guy who sold you the bike, right? 500 isn't a lot to put on, and if you do it in about a month or so, is it really going to matter if you're doing 2 days a week compared to 6?
