Per google maps, 2.4 miles, per my bike computer, just over 3 miles.

It feels a lot longer though - my commute in the town where I moved from was 3.2 miles, but going to work was slightly downhill and I almost always had a nice stiff tailwind, and hardly any lights. (And all of the lights were default-green in the direction I was going.) I could make it in 12 minutes easy. Now that I'm in the city, 20 minutes is a good time. :/

1st my commute was 17 miles, then it shrunk to 13 miles, which I feel is the perfect distance, then when I got my own apt it shrunk to 6 miles which was really too short for the bother. at 6 miles I should have started running it, but that's too far to be practical. now it's grown to 22-25 miles depending on the turns and that's too far to be enjoyable on a daily bassis, and certainly not year round. I do miss those golden days of the 13 mile commute, lightning fast in the morning and so so satisfying when I got home at night.

My commute is only about 2.3 miles each way. It's only one of the many regular rides I take, all of which are much longer, so I have no shame about it. The supermarket is about the same distance from my house. Should I drive to a farther one just to have bragging rights?
