I second the recommendation of "Bicycle Rider" magazine, based on the one
issue I've seen.  They are definitely aimed at the non-competitive cyclist.
I think they have a subtitle something like "The Grand Touring Magazine".
The address for subscriptions is

    Bicycle Rider
    29901 Agoura Rd.
    Agoura, CA 91301

Subscriptions are $15.98/yr. (9 issues/yr), but they seem to have a push on
currently for "charter subscribers", and if you write to them you might be
able to get them to offer you the deal we got, which is one trial issue free,
and then nine more for the standard price if you like the trial issue.

    I never liked "Bicycling" magazine much, because of their strong
racing slant.  For example, a recent issue had a story listed on the cover as
"Commuting:  Quality Miles".  The article turns out to be about two people who
use their commuting time to train for racing.
