How long is your journey to work

[mcb2080]

10 miles each way

35 min in mostly downhill (initially 45 min)

45 min home mostly uphill (initially 60 min)

Only being cycling since June

These times are before and after a 12 hour shift as well, so I am no doing too bad at the moment although next year I am hoping to try and trim about another five minutes off, if that doesn't work I will be buying a road bike for spring summer commute

19.5 each way. Time depends on the wind which is usually head on for at least half the journey. Usually manage 1 hour 20 minutes without rushing.

10 miles each way - only started cycling to work in July, took me 55 minutes on MTB. Bought a racing bike in August and now do it in about 40-45 minutes there, 35 minutes on the way back as it is more downhill.

8.5 miles each way. Takes about 40-45 depending on my luck with traffic lights.

mine is about 6 miles a day round trip but I tend to take detours on the way home. to get to work takes about 16 mins on way home takes longer as i take detours or i am just to tired

About 4.75 miles each way 5 days a week. Mostly downhill on the way to work (except for the Clyde Tunnel!) and uphill on the way back. I must admit I don't know my times. I'll have to look it up on one of my videos. Are these times, total times or cycling times. There are a couple of light sets at the start that can hold me up quite a bit!

 

[baggytrousers]

About 8 miles each way - It took me 52 minutes on my very first run 2 years ago and it's down to around 30 mins now - I ride in all weathers except ice but we haven't had too much of that lately - not down here anyway.

i ride my Raleigh Freeride (mountain bike) 12 miles each way, which takes me an hour and 20 mins minimum. mind you i do have several uphills to climb as well as riding on open roads passing through open fields.

At the moment i 've got a mid 70 's Falcon sirocco in the rebuild process, once its alive i am looking forward to cut atleast 15 to 20 minutes of my journey (hopefully).

Currently 24.5 miles which takes between 1 and a half and two hours. I'm still yet to do both ways in the same day, although finances dictate I shall have to for the next two days as I don't have money for the train.

 

[Cubist]

6 miles in, takes between 15 and 18 minutes depending on traffic. 6 miles home, takes between 35 and 45 minutes depending on headwind, energy, motivation, etc etc!
