Maybe fellow members cross paths ?

Mines Orpington, Sidcup,5 ways, Eltham, Woolwich at about 9am and around 10 miles each way.

5 or 6pm return

From Cove in Farnborough, up past Minley, through Yately to Sandhurst, on towards Wokingham, over old road to Binfiled and then on to Maidenhead.....and back. See a few more now, and in both directions, but some in the evening look like they're out on training runs.

From Didsbury in Manchester to Reddish. When the weather's nice, I take one of the scenic routes: 1. Didsbury - Northernden - Wythenshawe and back, then to Reddish. During school holidays I take even longer routes, such as Wilmslow - Prestbury - Poynton - Bramhall - Reddish; Didsbury - Bramhall - Newtown - Glossop - Marple - Reddish.

Yes, I sometimes arrive pretty tired (having done 40 - 50 km first thing in the morning), but I guess it's good training.

Two commutes for me, a short one, the most often travelled one, and a very occasionally travelled whole trip from home to work.
The short one is from Plock Court, Gloucester up the A38 to Coombe Hill, right at the lights towards Cheltenham then turn left at the Old Spot pub along the Stoke Road to Stoke Orchard. About 8.5 miles.
The long one is from Eastington up to Whitminster, turn right onto the A38 towards Gloucester, into Gloucester, then from there do the route described above. About 21 miles

Kilmichael to Kilmartin then down past the neolithic cairns and standig stones of Kilmartin Glen to the Moine Mhor nature reserve. B-road from there to the Crinan Canal towpath and along to Cairnbaan.
See loads of deer, occassional hen harriers ...but not too many other commuters.
About 9 miles each way I think.
On nice days I head out to Duntrune to watch the otters...

's a hard life really...

Urmston to Stretford to Hulme (over bizarre bridge) to University. Usually about 8.15am and leaving at about 4.30 to go (strangely enough) the reverse route. :sad:

Don't see too many going my way, and those that I do are either pootling along or on the pavement or RLJing. ;)

Waltham Abbey along Sewardstone Road and Waltham Way to Tottenham. 8 miles with no other regular commuters. Either everyone else is travelling at the same speed as me so we never meet or else they don't fancy it!
