heres mine - added 4 laps of regents park to get the miles up!!

 

[Mange-tout]

15 miles one way only (home). Get a lift in and then twice a week cycle home. Been doing this for 3 weeks now. There's a stinger of a hill at mile 14 and have only managed it twice - the other times have had to walk. I'm working up to 3 times per week but definately will need a rest day in between for the forseeable future

I do 25 miles each day, 12.5 each way mon-friday and even do a 20-60 miler on the weekend if I'm strong enough and have done detours to richmond park on the way home but the cull is on at the moment and the cold weather makes it not alot of fun at the moment.
I cycle from Hounslow to Regent street every day and it generally takes me 50mins but have done it in 44mins which is my PB.
Generally mondays and tuesday are my best days and gets slower towards the end of the week after I do BodyPump class on tuesday which kills my legs with all the leg work I do.

It's around 10-25 miles each way. It really does depend how I feel and the weather conditions.

8 miles each way through Leeds, not beautiful but I do pass through Meanwood urban farm and visit the ducks and sheep

 

[uclown2002]

do about 40 mile round trip; only live 2 miles from work though

The direct route is 9.8 miles each way, but who on earth takes the direct route on push bike? if i wanted to get there quickly i'd take the car, which kinda defeats the object. so i often ride home the long way which ends up being something like a 25 mile round trip.

 

[monkeylc]

4.5 mile there and back at the min,new job will be 15 mile there and back

... if i wanted to get there quickly i'd take the car...

Depends on where you're going. Parts of my commute are definitely faster by bicycle than by car, as bicycles aren't nearly as affected by congestion as motor vehicles.

true victor, if i would rather pedal than try and get off the team valley at 1700. lol

think I know which hill that is! Do you live up near Masterton by any chance?

Hi Mr Grumpy, yes.......................right near Tesco.It's a brute of a hill isn't it? Do you know the gradient by chance? Is it on your route too?

I'm moving to another job so its back down to 7miles for me....kind of looking forward getting to work not too sweaty after a 20mile slog in the freezing cold. I'll enjoy a 20min ride in the warmer waether
Its over the hill from LLangollen, towards Wrexham near Rhos, so still have lots of opportunities to do some big hills when I finish work
