I commute but I prefer to call it training as i don't carry a thing when i ride to work 3x's a week (swim on the other 2 days).

The short way in is 22km & I do that direction once a week (am & then perhaps the PM) with my dearie poo. I'm not fond of this route as there's traffic and a pub. I do however like it as it follows one of the main train lines..

The long way is 30km but I normally add 20km onto that as a nice training ride (in the am) twice a week. I like to take the 30km route home as it's a nice quiet ride along a purpose built path and I only have to cross three intersections.

I can't wait until summer to see daylight whilst riding!
