Is 40km too far to commute once or twice a week?

Doable, imho. Used to do 15 miles in and 25 home back in the day (scenic route home). Best part/s of the day! Great base mileage for the weekdays and helps with weekend rides if pushing it harder.

Indeed, scorchio!

really took my time , a good 2 mph slower into that headwind most of the way .Tried to hydrate most of the afternoon but its hard when your sweating at work anyway

Ye0, took it easy for my commute home at 1.30pm. Wind was a complete bind.
Popped in to see a mate about halfway home. I Was absolutely dripping from the heat.
