How far do you commute?

[Tater]

I have a twenty four mile round trip, but that could get longer this fall when I go back to school to finish my degree.

1.3 miles to school. After school, I go to the Post Office, Grocery Store, etc. so that makes it around 5 miles home. No excuse for me to EVER use my car to school! No traffic here. Sometimes I don't even see a car if it's early enough! Guess there has to be some perks to living in the middle of nowhere.

My commute is 5.25 miles one way, the short route; I've found a route that's a touch over 11 miles one way, and I'll be trying that this week.

I generally like it when it's a bit lighter in the morning than it has been this week (since we've Sprung Forward early), but I'm aiming for 1 to 3 days a week commuting by bike. During the Bike Commute Challenge in September, I'm shooting for 3 to 4 days a week! It's good to have goals!

My commute is 4.8 miles (7.7 km) each way.

I used to walk 1 3/4 miles (2.8 km) to school every day, and gained 20 lb. (9 kg) once I graduated. The length of my commute inspired me to begin biking regularly for the first time in my life.

I commute to work sporadically as it has to fit in with school runs and my partners availiability to help out, and whether or not I am teaching first thing in the morning.

But my commute is 22 km each way... I go from 600m above sea level (home) to just above sea level at work... going home is not only uphill but often into a head wind.

Its interesting to see all the different distances and terrains here

Juniper! I just realised this is your first post!
Welcome to TE... so many of us have stories we can each relate to... so fantatstic that you are biking regularly... I guess you have discovered by now it is a tad addictive???

Thanks for the welcome, Road Raven! It certainly is! I'm looking at the century riders with admiration and envy.
