This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Didn't Tricity do about 40 miles each way at one point?

A guy I used to work with did 50 miles from Watford to motspur park when he worked in the office, but he also spend half the year on a boat so he he had some pent up energy!

Personally the longest I've done is 35 a day (not including polo and extra miles to go to compass drinks) and i felt noticeably more tired on the way home on Friday than doing 20 or so... admittedly the reason I know Tricity did a massive commute is because after some nights out I'd be heading home around the same time she was heading past my place... This may have contributed to my Friday tiredness.

Heh.

I never did both ways; usually 40 miles in then train home or vice versa (though admittedly that was 6 miles to/from stations so 52 miles all in). It was glorious riding back on summer evenings, but I can't say I had much of a social life. It did make knocking out centuries over the weekend a piece of cake, though.

True that traffic gets better after, er, the M25 but I was still going from Hackney across London, so that was usually fairly tedious. You get used to it though.
