my commute is 22 miles each way- as i worked up to doing a full day of commuting i would put my bike
in my car, drive to work and then ride home. the next day I'd drive in. eventually i was able to do a same day round trip
and rest the next day. now i can do 4 days in row however by the end of the 4th day i'm tired from
having to get up earlier and not going to be early. last year i'd keep on riding on my home and spin out a metric century
every once in a while just for fun.
