I understood that FOG wanted to make the long commute. He did not write that he does not want to commute.

Yesterday I saw in the news that in Spain the racer cycled 150 km for 3 hrs 37 minutes.

Of course it is different. But this racer is also just a man.

A lot depends on the route. If it is the bad surface with a lot of traffic, open to the sea winds - forget about it.

But if it is the good road, where one can maintain 30 km/h and enjoy it, then why not.

I was on the tour along the North Sea Cycle Route and Denmark National Cycling Route Number 6 earlier this month. On this Route nr 6 there are stretches, which are surrounded by the trees from both sides, and the asphalt surface is ideally even, no traffic worth mentioning. On such roads I am sure I could make 64 km commute one way 2 - 3 times per week.

By the way, getting up early in the morning, like at 05:00 is fun. It is the best time. In summer there is the natural light already at this time. The secret is to go to bed early, so that one has 8 hours sleep time. I usually start to read non-fiction book, when I am in bed and soon I am asleep.
