Had a great month of commuting in March, 20 days to/from work, clocking around 268 miles. It was the driest March on record in Ireland. Also I tried some different routes, less traffic, more climbing. At the moment I drive to my parents house in the morning and cycle to work from there (6.5 miles one way). After work I either cycle back to my parents house or I cycle around 10 miles towards home and get collected. Home is in the country, parents live in suburbia, and work is in the city.
Plan to buy a road bike shortly, and increase my commuting distance gradually so that eventually I will commute from home to work and back(26 miles one way).
