If we estimate 40 miles, that means you're doing 200 miles a week. For a novice cyclist, 10mph is a reasonable speed estimate. Even for an experienced cyclist, much over 15mph is unlikely. This is a doable commute, but I'm not sure it's sensible. A lot depends on what the rest of your schedule is like.

If you're not already doing 60 or more miles of riding in a day, this will be an exhausting commute.
