I use my commutes too kill two birds with one stone. It's an economical way too get too work but it's also a way too get my miles in without having too do additional rides.
I like too sleep and my mornings in bed are precious

thus I get up too late for an extended morning ride. I therefore make up for it in the evening by detouring. Most evenings ill do around 6-20 miles.
This last week was the Strava February 15 where you had too ride 15 hours in one week so I did more miles than normal.
