How long is your commute?
Mine is approx. 40 minutes to work and 40 minutes home. Going home is a treat though, because it's an average 30degree incline.

45 mins to get to work and about 35 mins to get home (getting there requires going up a hill that has a 14% grade)

Currently I'm driving, busted my rim on Monday evening and am having a better one built, should be back at it on Monday.

60 minutes for a round trip of 14 miles. Takes 55 minutes by car. 2/3 flat on a beautiful ride by the Pacific Ocean, 1/3 hilly in the city.

[sidecomment]BTW, to convert from Degrees of Rise to Gradiant and back: Tangent(Degrees of Rise) = Gradiant, or ArcTangent(Gradiant) = Degrees of Rise. (and if you have to convert Degrees to Radians: Degrees * PI / 180 = Radians.[/sidecomment]
And to answer your question...10 miles flat round trip.
