In the eyes of other commuters, how does this commute rank? I know there's some commuters in my area (North East NJ) that go a far way by bike, but I have yet to encounter someone with a 25+ mile commute.

I used to go round trip, so almost 60 miles a day, but I found that I'd arrive home burnt out and wouldn't have too much energy for much else.

Pretty happy to have 40 miles now
I remember you. Let me know if you're willing to leave a little earlier in the morning (maybe 6:45am or so). And will swing by for a ride into the city. I did four days straight from home and one easy day for a little over 200 miles last week since my car was in the shop. Was damn tired by Friday. Going back to 2 to 3 days a week from home and more sanity...
