how far do you commute?

[sir adrian dangerous]

10 miles each way

38 mile round trip from March 30

Good luck with that. Just try not to ride too hard on each commute, and you'll get used to it after a while. I've been doing a 36 mile round trip commute (with lots of hill-climbing) for over 3 years now, and a fairly flat but 37.5 mile one for 3 years before that, and the longer rides just feel normal now. You can get used to anything, provided you don't strain any muscle, and sleep and eat well.

A tip of the cap to both of you, that's some commute

25 miles round trip. Makes the maths easy for working out weekly, monthly miles.

The computer is showing me over 7 miles each way.

Cheers. Well I started this week - will write more about it in the Tales From Today's Commute thread - it's a very flat commute and due to the fact that I haven't been sleeping very well I have by neccessity taken it easy. For me I think sleeping well will be key as my body seems to have coped well with it so far.

18 mile round trip, with a few bastard hills, have decided to make it interesting by doing it on a single speed ( I was getting bored using my mountain bike with locked out front fork and semi-slicks, so I've gone livened it up somewhat!)

Started to up a little now the finer weather is showing through. Averaged just over 67 miles per day this week.

Started cycling the 9 mile each way commute to work last autumn, nice weather has meant I've now upped to twice a week

My commute is 6 miles each way , Takes me roughly 20mins in the morning, I am hoping to get that beat within the next few weeks . Takes me almost twice as long on the ride home due to traffic etc.

The lovely Foleshill road can be a nightmare at times.

Mine is just a dawdle compared to some of you but we all have to start somewhere. Depending on which way I go it it varies from 2.2 to 3 miles each way. These lighter evenings are causing me to go further on the way home.

I've just started pedalling into work from Leeds to Bradford. It's a twenty five mile round trip which I aim to do twice a week. This week's target has been met.

 

[MickeyBlueEyes]

Stepped it up a little this past month, averaging 70 miles a day. The next step change will probably come toward the start of June.

11 miles, then a train, then 4 miles and the same back home!
