about 23-24 miles round trip (depends on exact route) 5 days a week all year, as the logistics of getting the children to breakfast club and me to work demand it. This is the shortest work commute I've had since living in London, longest was a 50mile round trip from Crystal Palace to Egham (via streatham, merton, kingston, Staines - usually did it in summer, in winter part of journey might have been train), my first was a 30 mile round trip from Mitcham to Syon Lane. Usually on my MTB, but still needs attention after that wet MTB ride.
When working at Staines used to HATE the last leg of the return journey as I tok the most direct route home and went up the hill beside streatham common and then up Beulah hill to CP. Best time was doing it in snow in winter and seeing all the buses and cars stuck.
