I've ridden almost everyday since I passed my CBT in May 2003. I worked out that I've done about 150'000 miles thus far. Yet my friend who only rides on sunny weekends every summer classes himself as a much more experienced rider than me as he has had his licence for about 10 years or so. I keep telling him experience is based on mileage, not how long you've had your licence. To no longer be a newbie I would say you should have ridden in adverse weather, through at least 1 winter and also done a fair few miles, 10'000 is about right imho.
