My office is roughly 100 kms away and i go there only once per week, by bike. Need to start at 5am to be there at 10am. Spend night in that city and return home the next day evening, around 12am.

I spend about 75% of riding in the dark and enjoy it most of the time. I found some nice rural roads that don't slow me down too much but make the ride more diverse.

Before I started doing that i would use every occasion to ride the bike. I just could not get enough of it. And now this itch seems to be satisfied.

Getting early is practically the only way how to make it's possible. Before i was commuting every day by train and now i have a feeling my life quality improved quite a bit.

A saw an article stating "mega commuting is unhealty and unsocial". Well, not in the case you can do it by bike! Definitely healthy and my social life changed too as i don't insist that our family spends every weekends cycling, we started doing lots of other things rather than just weekend cyclotouring.
