I've read many posts about people adding miles onto their commute for the heck of it, but i never thought i would do that because my commute is 17 miles one way. So now i've joined the club and included riding up Burnaby mountain to Simon Fraser University before continuing on my ride home. Total distance isn't that far but it's all uphill and quite exhilerating coming back down!
