I have a 32 mile round trip commute, and I'm wiped out when I get home. Last night was my first "full" commute - I rode half of it twice last week. How soon does it take to get used to the commute? I've ridden 90 and 100 miles a week for the past couple of months, and that doesn't tire me the way commuting does.

Despite the fact that commutes don't ever change in distance, I worked up to mine by taking the Tram instead of the 59th St bridge for a while. While coming back from an injury, I gradually weaned myself off the tram and back onto the bridge.

Commutes can and do change in distance. I take one route IN to work and another home.
