The route that I take to work depends on the time that I decide to leave my house. The shortest route is slightly over 5 miles to and fro but 9 out of 10 times I ride 11-16 miles in and 10-15 miles home for some extra exercise and miles. I can bring my bike inside the building and set it in a conference/break room with no worries. We also have a few shower stalls and dressing room so I am quite fortunate.
