How far is your commute?
Sorry, this may have been discussed before, I am new to the site and was just wondering how many miles some of you commute to work? I get about 16miles one way.

My commute is 20 miles (32 km) each way. I've been commuting for about a month and currently take advantage of a train in the mornings, if I can. This takes my morning ride down to 13 miles (21 km).
I hope to ride both ways, all the way, soon. I can sleep in if I don't take the train.

About 35 to 40 miles round trip depending on how badly my safety/hurry ratio is out of skew (shorter route is more dangerous but occasionally I need that extra 10 to 15 minutes).

13 miles round trip. 11 rural along the Missouri River. 2 Miles in town to get to my office. I agree with Chris L, its not nearly long enough this time of year. When its 5F and snowing, I would wager to say its WAY TO LONG on some of those types of days.

4 miles one-way. Two or three times a week I'll combine it with a 25 mile training ride before work.
