I think the route helps too
Of course, if you live at the bottom of Alpe d’Huez but work in a cafe at the top..
Although it’d be a fairly easy commute back home.
Potential looking at a 27 mile commute. i am a reasonably strong cyclist but I am concrned that this may be too far so I am wondering about drivng part of the journey at first or driving one day then cycling home then cycling to work the following day and driving home. just weighing it up really.
Half and half sounds like way too much effort and faff, and I’d guess that 90% of the time you’d chicken out and just drive all the way, unless you have the will power of a god.
Driving there, cycling back, cycling there, driving back, etc. etc. Sounds like the best idea, but what if you need the car when it’s at work? Have you got a second car? Could cause problems.
