Congrats, I started back in may and hate when I can't commute, The best commutes are in the fog I think, you stay cool and its just so fun to be going fast in the fog, I can't explain it but you will know when you do, its so refreshing. My commute to school is only 3.61 miles but the way home I take a detour which takes about 32 mins and the longer one takes about 48. I started commuting to and from school and work every day from september 24 and now it is oct 22 and I've gone 255 miles on my mtb with street tires. I go to and from work and school which are right next to each other every day. I was shooting for 300 within a month but idk if that will happen. I've gotta go 45 miles in 2 days, Thats not too easy because I just went on a hard ride 2 days previously. STICK WITH COMMUTING ITS ADDICTING!!!
