How far do you commute?

My commute is 20 mi (32 km) roundtrip.

It takes about an hour for me to ride to work (I have a hybrid, ok?), and about an hour & 15-20 minutes coming home. When I'm almost to work, I get to ride through a gorgeous historic cemetery. It's so beautiful and peaceful, especially at 6:45 in the morning when no one's around.

My commute has got a lot of downhill sections on the way to work, which can make riding chilly yet FAST early in the morning. Coming home there's a couple of challenging hills. I love riding so much, especially in the morning! And riding home gives me a chance to work out some stress of the day, mull over things, and just feel strong and exhilirated! I find myself a much calmer, more centered person at work on days I ride. S'nice.

Although, especially on chilly morning rides, a nice hot shower when I got to work would be absolute heaven (alas, there's no showers at my place of employment). At least I can make some hot oatmeal for brekky!

My commute is 30-40 miles roundtrip depending on detours I take if I hit rush hour. It's a grind in the morning (I live in the valley and work near the foothills), but piece of cake at the end of the day.

I took a break because of weather as Corsair mentioned, but it's so beautiful out now, you just can't help ridding! I'm also contemplating a few longer routes after work.
