For several years my commute was 50km round trip [with train] or 100km round trip without train. I found 50kms a nice distance to ride each day. Enough to get a workout and feel satisfied without killing me. I rode the 100km route each day when I was in the mood for a real workout and the weather was nice.

33kms isn't a problem with a well setup bike and a bit of a phased approach to building up the mileage.

The 2hrs on my bike each day was the best part of my day!

No - the internals are the same.
