I don't do it as often as I'd like, but mine's 21 miles each way, with a few pretty good sized hills, only a few miles with bad traffic (even less now that I figured out how to use the Blue Ridge Parkway for a couple of miles and avoid a major 4-lane highway).

Re: Longest Commute ?
36 miles round trip, 2-3 days a week. In the summer I may take a route home that puts me over 50 miles for the day.

Re: Longest Commute ?
I commute 43 miles one way. I have a system worked out so that I drive to work, with bike and clothes/food for next day, ride home, then ride back in morning and drive home. This way I do not need to take anything with me, and I am only riding once per day. Fridays are my days off, but I still end up getting plenty of miles through the week. I do cheat sometimes if really bad rain or below freezing weather is certain by catching a ride in with co-workers or just bagging it and driving, but it works well considering the distance.

Re: Re: Longest Commute ?
My current commute is about 15 miles round trip.
I did have a 40 mile (one way) commute to a consultant site last summer. However, the total roundtrip commute only ended up being 60 miles. (I made it out there in the morning. But, in the afternoon, at first I was out was too tired, and by the time I got enough energy, my bike ran in to problems.) Luckily there were buses and trains to through the bike on for the last 20 miles. The bike commute still ended up about as fast as the full-transit commute. (And I'm guessing it would not have taken much longer than a driving commute.) |

Almost 80 miles round trip (125 km).
Depending on the route it could be 3 to 5 miles more. It's almost flat, only a 150 HM's a day. In summer I do it 3 times a week, in winter (it's usually just above freezing here, and lots of times wet) once a week. My average is between 17 (winter) and 20 (summer) mph. Before I got this job, I commuted for 8 years 21 miles a day, every day. |
