It's a hilly 40-mile commute from my home in El Cerrito to my offic in
South Hayward. I deliberately take the long way through the hills
(Grizzly-Skyline-Redwood Road) to get more exercise, avoid more cars and
enjoy the scenery. It was a stunningly beautiful morning. My A. Homer
Hilsen rode
Me too :) I love taking the long way round to work (15 miles vs 8) these
days. It helps that less folks are on the trail in the longer section I'm
taking.

Hardly epic, but I did ride 14.37 miles to the PO today; direct route
is about 3 miles; both figures rt. 2003 Curt.

Great story.
I commute pretty regularly. I do it for the same reason you do, it really is
fun.
If circumstances cause me to drive to work several days in a row I start to
realize that riding the bike isn't
real 'convenient'. Driving is 'convenient' and a real drag.
So there's a bit of a catch
I found that getting past the first month is the hard part. This got me up to
3-4 days of commuting per week. After that, I started to dread the days I had
to drive.

I have a 1 miles commute which I do everyday, rain or shine. I head
straight to work in the morning, still dark out, but I do manage to toss in
a few miles on the way home so that I feel like I've had a bi
35 miles and 3k feet of climbing?
Now that IS inconvenient.
It really isn't a commute it is more like an expedition.
Way to go!
