How long is your journey to work

[arallsopp]

New office soon, which will see me cut from 42.8 miles per day to somewhere shy of 36. Normally 3 days per week. Currently 5.

I'll miss it...

 

[swee'pea99]

Somewhere between 7 & 8 miles each way, every working day (unless there's ice/packed snow on the roads). About 25-30 mins, depending on wind 'n weather.

 

[scouserinlondon]

Mine's 7.5 miles each way and takes between 30-40 mins depending on traffic.

I think I'm turning into a bit of a "fair weather" commuter as my trips in have averaged only 1 a week for the last 6 weeks (although all 6 been over the last 2 weeks as I skipped most of December and January).

But, when I am "in the zone" I run at about 38-40 miles (depending on route) round trip 3 times a week, so clock up around 114-120 miles a week.

That seem's to be enough for me as I can never manage more without feeling really tired towards the end of the week.

EDIT* (Chitty is currently laid up and will return to the tarmac on Monday/Tuesday...with a new drive system...can't wait!!)

since I last posted in this (resurrected) thread I have upped my commute from 26 miles to 32-35 miles round trip 5 days a week.

Some going that ian,you don't look like some lightweight race machine in the pics I've seen

 

[potsy]

Mine is between 18.5 and 19.5 mile round trip depending on the route home,sometimes go a slightly longer but safer way back.
Try to do as many days as I can,usually 4 a week,but the weather stopped me for nearly 5 weeks over Xmas.

I have a number of different routes to and from work. The shortest journey to work is 9 miles and pretty much all down hill so I can spank that route like the clappers but with the lighter mornings/evenings I sometimes put an extra 20 miles in through the hills around Sussex. But on the roads I don't know too well, I've been caught off guard at night by a few sneaky potholes.

 

[Fnaar]

I only occasionally commute (more in spring/summer, winter once a week on average) but it's about 17 miles each way, depending on route taken.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

12-16 miles each way, depending on the route. It usually takes me 40 minutes to an hour on the12 mile route.

 

[gbb]

5 mile round trip for me B). The consolation is, i never look outside and think...errr car or bike...it's always the bike.
Mind, todays commute was pushing 20 miles. They think i'm nuts at work, ride in, get a coffee then do a quick circuit to double the mornings mileage, then 3 circuits round town to get home.

 

[lantern rouge]

13 miles each way, 9 sets of traffic lights and a security guard/gatehouse to contend with.

averaged approx 45-46 minutes on the Carrera, hopefully the new bike will help me go a minute or two quicker this year.

shift worker, so just waiting for the clocks to change, temp to go up a degree or two and a spring shower to wash away the last of the road filth!!

not exactly hardcore eh?!
