A query for the group: If I take the long way home, is it acceptable to add those extra miles for the purpose of this thread? This is what I've done in the past. For instance, my typical commute is just a little over 8 miles total, four miles each way. If I take the usual 4-mile route into work, but take a longer 10-mile route home, is it okay to log that day's miles as 14 miles?
Absolutely. There's no reason why the shortest route between your house and work would be the only valid one. Heck, some days I ride straight to our club ride after work and as it's a part of my journey home, its miles go into this thread, too.
