+=1 My one way is between 15 and 18 mi. It takes some time for me each year to be able to do this without a day in between. But I am old. Anyhow, don't overdo it and take some days off, but on other days push very hard in intervals and soon you will get the stamina.

Congrats! Took me years before I gave it a try and I wish I wouldn't have waited so long!

I love Vancouver and that area - I have been up there several times on business trips and it is a wonderful area. Would love to bike there. You are lucky!
