1.5 mi or 1.75 depending on route

ochizon 05-07-10 10:00 AM

7.6 miles here, which is not the direct, but the safest route.

cycling in Miami sucks :(

Reverse in the evening.

Did you ride this morning? I followed a slightly different route & time; I think I may have seen you (but couldn't catch you!)

About 6 miles on the Custis trail in Arlington, VA. I think today I might just ride down the Mt. Vernon Trail and catch the WOD back up to the Custis.

About 12.5km one way.

squirtdad 05-07-10 10:47 AM

5 miles in

5.8 home (slightly different route to make it easier to cross the most traffic street with a light)

up to 10 home if I take a route simply to add miles

13 miles thru hilly central Mass. I like atmdad's ride, nice ocean breeze. I was stationed there in the early 80's.

Yea, I can't complain. Although with summer around the corner it means a lot more drivers not watching the road myself included due to the increase of scantily clad fauna :innocent:

dstedman 05-07-10 11:05 AM

22 miles each way. I'm gonna be lean & mean by the end of the summer!

PhilWinIL 05-07-10 11:29 AM

12 miles from the house to the office.

Rhodabike 05-07-10 01:01 PM

4.5k, unless I go swimming. In that case it's an additional 3k past my office to the pool, then 3k back again to get to work.

groovestew 05-07-10 01:09 PM

About 15 km.

buck65 05-07-10 01:24 PM

3 miles round trip. :D I always throw in an adventurous couple of miles on the way home....but I take the direct route home for lunch.

EKW in DC 05-07-10 01:56 PM

7 miles (11.25 km) door to door according to mapping websites. (I haven't gotten a computer yet, but it's on my acquisition list.) I often stop at the grocery store or run other similar errands on the way home so that adds a nice couple miles here and there, too. I've been known to strecth out the commute artificially as well. A seven mile commute can be a ten-plus mile commute if you know the right roads. ;)

CbadRider 05-07-10 01:58 PM

21 miles to work, 19 miles home.

I'm starting a new job in a week that will be 3 miles closer but it's much hillier, so it will probably take me the same amount of time.

starla 05-07-10 02:17 PM

10 miles

BILLB58 05-07-10 02:42 PM

Usually 11.3 miles in the morning and 9.7 miles at night

corkscrew 05-07-10 03:46 PM

8.5 miles if I stick to the roads, and avoid hills.

10 miles if I use the hills, and take the bumpy section of the MUP.

11 miles if I use the hills, and take the smooth section of the MUP.

mustang1 05-07-10 04:01 PM

11 miles one way.

daithi2 05-07-10 04:09 PM

13 miles

bhop 05-07-10 04:11 PM

13 miles...technically 12.5, but I like to round up since it seems more impressive to the ladies.

tsl 05-07-10 04:27 PM

I switched library branches in March, in part for a longer commute. Through the winter I'd only ride directly to and from work at 1.7 miles, and it wasn't enough to stay anything remotely resembling in-shape. A longer commute fixes that.

The new commute is 4.65 miles one-way (between 15 and 20 minutes depending on direction, winds, traffic, etc.) by the most direct and safe route. So far, I've developed several variations out to 16.5 miles. But my favorites are the flat 4.65, a hilly 10.3 and the flat 16.5. This past week, the average of all trips was 11.25.

gitarzan 05-07-10 04:29 PM

10 miles, give or take a tenth here and there.

gerv 05-07-10 05:31 PM

5.5 miles or 7 if the MUP is open.

SunnyFlorida 05-07-10 05:48 PM

It's 2.6 miles - one way.

rumrunn6 05-07-10 05:52 PM

JanMM 05-07-10 05:59 PM

9.5/9.5 miles

cyclokitty 05-07-10 06:03 PM

About 8.5 or so kilometres.

jrn 05-07-10 06:07 PM

About 20km with a *nasty* hill at the end and zero shade. Definitely would do the commute a lot more if the end wasn't brutal.

caloso 05-07-10 06:10 PM

3.8 miles by the most direct route. Which I rarely take. 24 miles is my most favorite route.

xtrajack 05-07-10 06:20 PM

My commute is about six miles or so, (one way) depending if I go by road or rec.trail, not much difference either way.
