What's the current thinking on this? How long to recover from a workout? how does the recovery time reflect the duration/intenstity?

FK there are so many variables when it comes to recovery that know one will ever have a true and full answer! No matter what the science states
all of these things need to be taken into account:
genetics
nutrition along with supplementation
environment
intensity
goals
volume
sex M/F! Not are you getting any! However it does help.
Stress
family commitments
type of work
financial constraints
sleep
injuries
stealth colds/virus
no particular order, but I would single out intensity/sleep/nutrition/stress as big culprits when it comes to people who have problems with recovery.

"The idiots are self regarding consumer slaves oblivious to the paradox of their uniform individuality. They sculpt their hair to casual perfection, they wear their waistbands below their balls. They babble into hand-held twit machines about that cool e-mail of the woman being bummed by a wolf. Their cool friend made it. He's an idiot too. Welcome to the age of stupidity, hail the rise of the idiots!"

"Don't get hung up on the stopwatch or times, or even weight lifted, think about technique, technique, technique and listening to your body. You will not perform better every session and that is set in stone. Test your self every month keep a written journal not just a forum, a place where you can keep personal notes that you can read to motivate yourself. Don't compare yourself to others when you are working out and likewise do not think that you are already fit as fcuk!!! As someone will always be in front and behind you, ultimate confidence in your abilities yes, but arrogance no, there is a fine line.
But most of all do the things you hate above the things you like or are good at, this will make you a better athlete. Save the things you like for recreational sessions. But ultimately enjoy it, even when you hate it! And finally remember the mind will always give in before the body!"
Here endeth the lesson.

cheers guys
i don't normally have too much problem with recovery from training but was surprised how poor I've felt a whole week after doing my 100mile+ ride. My main concern here is later in the year - i have 5 weeks between two main events and want to make sure I recover properly and am in peak condition for the second event. The first should be a balls out 2.5 hrs so any idea about how I figure out when to start up training again? I am thinking 2 days full rest afterwards with easing back in from day 3 (maybe a two days on then rest a day then 3 days on then a rest day then back to full quota of 5 x in 3 days).
