I can relate but, kinda weird for me cuz sometimes I ride my old work commute (it's a convenient 26 miles round trip) & even my current work commute (44 miles round trip) on the weekends just for the workout. but I do try to do it at quieter times. at my current work, I only do split commutes 1 day a week during good weather so it's only 22 miles at a time. but for a weekend ride, the whole round trip is a good workout. I consider it "training" so that when I do it during a work week, I'm better at it. must be something wrong w me
