how far do you commute?

Seeing this thread pop up again.

2012 I was doing a 37 mile round trip commute every day
2019 it was down to 32 miles
2024 down to 28 miles
After a house move, Its now down to 17 miles, but does included taking a train. Though on a Friday when the weather is nice I do ride all the way home, a trip of 27 miles.
Have to say on one hand I did enjoy putting my body though longer and harder commutes, on the other hand, I bloody miss it but my body thanks me.

Wow, so much, I only have 3 miles one way, now 3 days a week, used to do 5.

Ive got lazy of late after an office move and doing 4miles to the Station and a 0.8 miles at the far end to the office. Preferring to lie in and use my evening for cycling local. For about a year I was getting off the train early and having an 11mile cycle (30miles round). The odd time I get off the train early at night and/or get on it a couple of stops down the line so my longest commute has been circa 41miles round (5 in the morning 36 at night).

longer way round today via a park so just under 11 miles in. Will decide later which way back.

My commute doubled this year due personal life changes and I now enjoy a 37 mile round trip using both the Bridgewater canal and Roe Green Loop line

Much respect: I'm not sure that I could do a 60k commute and still function at work.

I used to commute 26 miles in and 26 home, in all weather on a Trek 1.2 2008. Those were the days

Mine is a 50K round trip. With about 460m of climbing.

Since moving the cycle commute has more-than halved to less than three miles each way if I take the most direct route.

Of course I don't take the most direct route; with town and back in the morning for breakfast making it about 7 and typically a load of meandering about the city after work for another 15-20 miles.

I suspect there will be days when I'll be glad of the shorter ride, however the biblical rain a couple of weeks ago wasn't enough to put me off the morning sausage quest
