    Christ, and I thought my 27 mile round trip to college was bad! Its proper dedication I guess on his part.

    When the family visited my aunt and uncle in Brighton, I often used to ride back to my Mum’s in south London. It’d be when I was home from university and we’d visit for a day at Easter or Christmas. Drive down with my bike and kit in the car then I’d ride home and I wouldn’t have to carry anything, that’d go back inthe car. 🙂 A nice ride of about 65 miles.

    no amplebrew he had some gears not sure he will be doing it again any time soon he was pretty tired in work
    I thought my ride of 18 miles each way was enough too

    That takes some commitment.

    I have either 10 miles of 7 miles each way, depending on which route I take.

    I only tend to take a really long route on the way home after work.

    Mrmo, I have the same distance, that is *ahem* when I commute. Fair play for the ops mate

    8 miles in.
    Back depends on the weather.
    Used to do 35 each way in old job/house, didn’t need to do much other training really.
