2.25 mile round trip, 5 days a week. I know, I know....hardcore

FFS Jay that's not a commute

Ive just cut mine to 32 miles each way 4 days at the moment (since I found out the train was £4.50 return and cut out the 10 mile lump in the middle) Why Oh Why didn't I check out the train fare 10years ago

Just completed 200 days commuting for the year. 200 x 25 miles gives me 5000 miles for the year. Last day at work tomorrow due to holidays so just made it

Ive just moved and have a 40 mile round trip - will only be doing it 2 days a week and try to build up to more days. Going in is easy, but coming back is hard work, especially with all the traffic.

Sadly right now I'm too far to commute. Last winter I was doing 9-10km each way. I've come close to twenty each way on a previous job but that is pretty close to my limit. I have to have something left for my employer.

Eleven mile round trip every weekday, all year. Sometimes over the weekend too. Hardly epic, but I love to do it.

I'm commuting 17 miles in and 17 back ONLY when I have the energy. I'm around 500 miles a month. I leave very early around 3:40am as I go in at 5am. Hardestpart really is getting up at 3am. I'm loving it more and more to ride in. Weight loss is my motivation.

Not quite as early as you, I get up at 5:00, best time of the day ;-)

honestly, I wish I could get up at 5am because I have a grueling schedule all week long; I could use the extra hours of sleep to rest more.

11 mile round trip is such a perfect range. Won't kill you and it won't take up much of your time. Perhaps, if your body allows it, you can detour and sight see just to get more exercise in; I'm just saying.
