Default When to Change Timing Belt

Can anyone tell me the recommended interval to change the timing belt on the Pilot? (2006) I read the manual and the timing belt is mentioned two places. Both places it says something like "If you are in any of these conditions: ABOVE 105 degrees, BELOW -25 OR tow regularly you should change the timing belt at 60K. I couldn't find where it says the change interval for the other 99% of Pilots that are just driven in regular conditions.
And yes, I did do a search for "timing" and "timing belt" and found no posts mentioning the official recommended Honda mileage. I'm a little PO'd that the owners manual doesn't give the acual mileage, it seems ridiculous.

105,000 mi/168,000 km/7 yrs Scheduled Maintenance
Recommended service for your 2006 Honda Pilot:

Replace engine oil filter

Replace timing belt and inspect water pump
(I would replace the water pump at this time)

Check front and rear brake wear

Check parking brake adjustment

Inspect tie-rod ends, steering gearbox, and boots

Inspect suspension components

Inspect driveshaft boots

Inspect brake hoses and lines (including ABS)

Inspect all fluid levels and condition of fluids

Inspect exhaust system#

Inspect fuel lines and connections#

Check oil and coolant at each fuel stop.

Check tire inflation and condition once a month.

I think the 60k was written just for extreme climate pilot owners. West Springfield, MA is probably just like any other town in USA so don't worry.

BTW I wouldn't wait till 105k miles on the dot to have all that work done above. I'll probably aim for 90-95k miles myself.

Thanks for the responses. Does everyone agree with the list of replacement parts in this post:

DIY (J35A4) timing belt replacement

when doing the timing belt job?
I'm big on preventative maintenance so I will probably do the water pump while I'm in there.
