60 miles rt with hills is too long IMHO. Maybe someday but I have other things I would rather try first.
I put something more like 9000 miles on a bike each year. Anyhow too each his own. I'm just saying it is not for me right now but I can see a use for it for other things besides commuting.
Not to mention that I am a bit of a gear head and love my deraileurs, shifters, etc.
