How Far Do You Commute ?

[gaz]

Between 26 and 34 miles each day. Nearer to 34 than 26

 

[Moodyman]

24 miles a day, 5 days a week.

35 miles is pretty good. Any scr thrown in for good measure ?

Sometimes yes. All part of the game. I do enjoy it sometimes. Especially good when going up Bromley Hill. And even better when you pee a sky clad roadie out the back. (They don't like cyclists in baggies and with panniers doing that

)

40 mile round trip, 3 days a week. Been doing it so long I don't really notice it anymore. When I first started I could hardly walk by the end of the week.

Or cure you !
20 miles round trip is a nice distance.
Somebody must do 80 miles though surely.

I'm about to move with work and my commute will be 38 miles one way.....having said that, I'll only be doing the bike once a week, and on a Friday so it's dress down day and I can leave at 12noon!

well I'm ashamed to admit that mine is around 1.5 miles, both ways... takes around 5 mins. The upside is after coming a cropper on a slimey paving slab on the way home last night and damaging my wrist... walking is a viable alternative

at the moment its 10 miles each way, big jump from my last place so taking it easy and building my self up so far 3 times in one week

How do you find it ?

 

[PatrickPending]

76km return - 80km if I take the scenic route home - mind you I did 104Km last friday - rarely drive to work - twice this month - usually when I need to be in super early or am leaving late. Looking forward to getting soaked tomorrow!

If I use the roads then its around 13 miles(26 round trip) with a few hills nothing major.

If I use canal then it pushes it closer to a 30 mile round trip, becomming nicer by then week as they're slowly tarting up the canal towpaths.

Normally 4 times a week, 3 if I'm working weekends.

 

[ACS]

23 miles a day (round trip) at least 4 days a week, with 1300 feet of gutter grovelling.

 

[apollo179]

15 miles minimum each way, but sometimes I make the return a 30 odd miler. Commute 2 or 3 times a week.

Its good but i cant help being impressed with the 5 day week merchants.
Dyu ever consider 5 days a week ?

 

[Strick]

My actual direct commute is around 7.5 miles each way. I'm currently doing this 3 or 4 times per week, plus every other Saturday.
Some mornings if i'm running early I will add a few miles on. I also have a friend who works close by and we commute home together a couple of times a week. We usually go a different (indirect) route to clock up some extra miles.

 

[girovago]

15 miles a day, five days a week.

 

[mrmacmusic]

I've only just started commuting (see other posts!) doing one day a week for the first couple of weeks, then two days last week – today I cycled in for the third time this week! Only 14.2 miles each way

It's all about recovery. Work your way into it and it's not hard. Some of us regularly do more than 200miles a week.
