18 miles a day, every day. mixture of urban, country lane and easy double track through the woods. Plenty of options to dive off on some singletrack if I want.

Looking forward to the first proper 'night ride' home tonight ๐Ÿ™‚

I try and do at least 4 days a week. 17 mile round trip on my 9yr old stumpy. Leave my suits at work and take shirt, socks and kecks with me.
Normally keep one rest day in there or like today when my daughter kept me up last night and I overslept completely so had to get the train.

I live about 20 miles from work so drive partway. Have been weighing up getting a road bike and attempting the whole lot.

20 miles each way on road 3-4 days a week all year round. Looking forward to the ride across the moor in proper darkness tonight. Occassionally do the full week if I'm in the office all week. I have short spells where I don't really enjoy it, like if I get a run of punctures, and it seems a chore but I'm loving it at the moment.

The thought of riding in the dark for 40 miles a day for the next 4 months is hard to take but it's great to get a decent mileage in all year round. And in reality once I'm through the transition period I do enjoy it.

16.5 miles each way for me. Distance isn't so bad. Shifts and training at work which wear me down. I'm starting 7 days of 6pm to 2am today. Hopefully a couple of hours overtime each day as well. I never get through the seven days without driving once. Needless to say I don't shine in the circuit training or runs during the week.

I'm intent on doing all seven days this week.
