I do about 9.5 miles each way, but I will add 1/2 to 3 miles most days just for fun. I like to change up the route. The longest I would go is probably 20 miles. After that it just takes too much time. As to the route, it is almost all uphill to and all down hill home. The ride breaks down almost exactly half MUP and half rural frontage road. Most of my alternate routes add quite a bit of climbing and take me through subdivisions. At it's shortest, my commute takes about 45-50 mins to and closer to 30-40 from.
