Until this summer, for 13 years the commute was 22 mi./ 35 km one-way with 3,600 ft. / 1097 m elevation change. 50 minutes down the hill to work, 2 hours 40 minutes home. Shower at my office. Rode 2-3 times per week weather permitting. Depending on my spouse’s job, she would sweep me in the canyon on her way home saving me an hour or so. But alas we have moved down to the flats. The commute is nice, flat, 30 minutes one-way. The advantage is I never use the car to work and the ride is just enough to get some exercise. Gets me ready for my day. And the ride home is a great stress reliever. I miss the old commute, except the getting up extra early, in the dark, for the morning leg.
