I am curious if anyone's commute is similar to this. If so, how long does it take you? Would anyone here even consider commuting that distance to work?
Hey... as a matter of fact I am looking into getting a new ride - KHS TR 101- to handle a 26+ mi. one way ride to work. My route, the most direct way, would be on 2 lane road with little or no shoulder for the first 13 mi. then, basically the same for the next 10, after that wide shoulder for the last 3 to work. My wife (cyclepup) isn't to thrilled with the idea of me on those particular roads, so the actual commute distance will increase if I go through town. I'll give myself 2-2 1/2 hours for the run the first time there, just to be safe as far as arrival on time.
