I'm kind of the opposite here. My actual commute is 6 miles (minimum), and if I had a choice, I'd consider 3-4 miles perfect. This allows a dash to work under ANY conditions, then I can make whatever kind of ride I want to out of the trip home.
As I said, my current ride is 6 miles minimum. The trip back home varies up to 40 miles depending on weather and mood.
