When Do You Feel As Though You're Home?

[Thomk]

For me, once I pass the 2 mile to go beacon , I smile and start planning my post commute happy time

When I stand at the gate and fumble for my key.

Never really thought about it on the commute. But on a longer ride whenever I see a sign for Orpington

If I've taken the shortest possible route, I don't feel home until I've got in the house and taken my boots off. The longer the route I've taken, the further from home I can be before I feel home.
Glad to hear someone else feels like they're home when they're still miles out. I was starting to think it was wierd.

I feel it on the bus or as a passenger in a car, oddly. When the vehicle rolls up past the local school just down the road.... havent ever felt it on the bike though. I have to be on hallowed ground first, LOL!

When I step into the kitchen and ask my wife what's for tea, and she tells me it's the burnt leftovers from her lunch. Home, sweet home.

When I have finished the 0.5mile climb coming out of George Square in Glasgow, there is still about 2 miles to go at the this point but it always feels good to get the climb out of the way!

When there is no longer an uphill...

 

[Black Sheep]

once I've built up speed again after the big hill.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

As I wheel the bike through the back door. Given that the last 2km of my commute is the bit where I am most likely to come into the most conflict with other road users I can't drop my guard any earlier.

Once the cats are tripping me up pestering for their tea whilst I'm trying to put the bike away


Or on a detour, here, a few hundred yards after Fox House when the road levels off and then descends all the way home

 

[numbnuts]

when I've got a cup of tea in my hand

 

[palinurus]

When I'm sitting in the bath drinking tea and eating a pie.

 

[Simba]

When I get out of my lycra, I feel home. It's so liberating to get changed after a long ride.

If I'm riding back from Oxenhope (north of Hebden Bridge) it's the summit of the climb because there is then a glorious 4.5 mile descent to Hebden Bridge which brings me back to within 250 yards of home!
