No CC jerseys left... for the moment.
I'm a bit further up Tubbenden, Southlands Ave.

Well, that's 4 Orpingtonites now on CC. 3 of them 'just off' Tubbenden :thumbsup:

I don't commute every day, but I try to do two days a week and after the winter I plan to up that to 3 maybe 4. My commute is 20.5 miles each way when taking the direct route ... although there are about 5 or 6 different routes I take in to work to keep things fresh - depending on whether I'm in the mood for hills, flat sprinting, cycle paths etc. They vary in range from 20 - 28 miles, and I have been known to take a longer route on the way home of about 35-40 miles.

I only took up cycling about 5 months ago, and I used to think 20 miles would be far FAR too far to cycle for commuting, but it's really not. I now do it in under 1hr 10 mins, with a PB of 1hr 1min.

Me too! I do Orpington to Canary Wharf 3 times a week atm, hopefully 5 times a week come Christmas when I'm a bit fitter.

Yes, the mornings is certainly better - it being all down hill 'n all :smile:

Do u suffer the return leg from Kidbrooke - up to Sidcup ? The most enjoyable part of the journey
 
Do I answer each way or total? I'm 7 miles each way so I would fall in to different brackets depending on the voting methodology.

door to door is 13.8 miles in, 14 miles home (slightly longer on homeward leg due to one way system).

Try and do it twice a week but being out and about for work means sometimes just once a week.

Unless it's peeing it down, i'll normally add some loops in, to try and make it a 35 to 40 mile round trip.

I am trying to build mine up to a 40 mile round trip. Trying to find the extra loop that will add that to it is the hardest for me. I take in a lot of hills going to work. But after a long day at the office just want a lazy relatively hill free trip home
