It's not unknown for me to commute and do a 14hr hr shift, you normally enjoy the ride home, it's the getting back up at 5.30 in the morning that's a killer! If so ride 3 times, you'll feel the benefit.

40 minutes or so depending on the wind and how deep the mud is. Actually usually the longest when the weathers nice and I take a few detours.
