Betcha mine's longer than yours...

xShadowrider · 09-05-2008, 11:31 AM

Average daily roundtrip commute that is.

208 kms or 124.8 miles.

Can you beat that?

S14Daver · 09-05-2008, 11:37 AM

Im still mad at myself for actually clicking this thread...but ya, i cant touch that. Mines like 20ish miles?

tbone · 09-05-2008, 11:46 AM

Mine is 6 miles rt.

Longerfellow · 09-05-2008, 12:00 PM

30 miles round trip.
Yours is bigger...

dskelton · 09-05-2008, 12:07 PM

Does that include the nights I have to meet the wife and kids "in town" because my doesn't feel like cooking?

90 miles without dinner
~115 with dinner

Rollin_Again · 09-05-2008, 12:15 PM

My ride to work is about 7 miles but the ride home ends up being 40 miles. I guess you could say that I prefer to take "the long way home"

My wife still wonders why it takes so long to get home from work when the weather is nice.

Regards,
Rollin

VFRShorty · 09-05-2008, 12:16 PM

currently 2 miles roundtrip.... next monday, 52 miles!

vfourbear · 09-05-2008, 12:53 PM

Fifteen grumpy , reluctant, grudging miles there. Twenty five to forty enjoyable miles home. Wonder how that happens. So yours is longer, but mine is fatter.

symtex · 09-05-2008, 01:03 PM

I guess mines bigger......

I do 150 miles a day for the last 9 1/2 years....
San Antonio to Austin....

Man, you guys make me feel better about my 60 mile (round trip) commute. Thanks!

Symtex - How many miles a year you rack up? Is that mostly on the bike or do you use a cage?

I don't own a bike at this time. Im still looking for the right one. So all those miles are in a cage. Even if I had a bike im sure 99.5% of those would still be in a cage. I have heard statistics that that stretch of road is one of the top 10 deadliest stretches of road in the US. I drive about 45K miles a year.

Ya, I hate myself for clicking this thread too! D#%N catchy titles. My round trip commute is about 75 miles, once again this depends on how nice the afternoon is and how much extra time I have to get home!
