Xcuse typos. Im on the smart phone
My commute is 65 miles each way. Most of it, 54 miles, is by commute,r rail. I often stretch the afternoon comute by riding to a train station further down the line. The next station is 9 miles, but that can be streched to 15 by alternate routes. All are pretty flat. The 15 mile route has about 3 mi @ a very gentle incline. I can reach the third station down the line for an 18 mi with some hills. The 15 and 18 mean catching a later train.
