Quickest/shortest route is just under 4 miles but I like to do a 10-mile route in, and a 6-mile route home along some pleasant country lanes.

Shortest route is 2.4 miles but at the moment I am extending that to 6.7 miles and occasionally 9.7 miles. I'm hoping to build up as the seasons change.

I cycle just over 11 miles each way in the winter, use a cycle path that is very dark but no traffic. In the summer I'll probably use a longer, 14 mile road route.

I work 25 miles away from home, since getting my backside on the bike a couple of months I have got myself to the point of leaving the car 10 miles away and cycling in every day when it's not really icy.

Come the spring I hope to be doing the full distance at least 3 days a week, really looking forward to it.

Shortest door to door is 7 miles.

Mornings are generally one of my quick routes as the menagerie need getting up, but evenings on a nice day and / or nothing doing then as long as I fancy.

26 miles round trip, plus a few more dropping the kids off at school or childminders. all beautiful cheshire country lanes and not much traffic, best commute ever after 20+ years of the city :smile:

Stepped up the mileage for a sustained period now and happy with a daily 52 mile round trip. Come the start of Spring I want to increase this to an average 60 miles a day then up to 65/70 mid Spring/milder weather/Summer. It's took me a couple of years to make this mileage day in day out but just loving it now.

There is a possibility I could be increasing my commute to almost 13 miles each way. I think its doable, its a 20 mile round trip at the moment, and the good news is I could do almost all of it on the Trans Pennine Trail and then the cycle path, there would only be 2 shortish stretches of road involved totalling less than a mile, one really quiet :smile:
And theres the option of bailing out and getting me and bike back on the train, which i currently cant do.

17 miles each way. Around a quarter semi rural. The rest a main route into Manchester/Salford. Mornings ok leaving at 5.15, but coming home 12 hours later is far less pleasant.
