Good job. I always find the ride home a bit harder than the morning just because my energy levels aren't as high and I do feel like my legs just aren't as strong. Since you take public transportation home sometimes could you just ride until you feel like you can't really go much longer and then pick up public transportation from that point?

The one thing I always remind myself is on the ride home, I'm not pressed for time so if I needed to take a break then I can. I also am not in any hurry to push myself to go faster. My ride is 7.5 miles one way so not as far as you but I do have a few hills to deal with. The one thing I'm bad at is making sure I eat enough during day's I ride. I think that is part of my problem with the lower energy, I eat the same lunch on ride and non-ride days and I probably need to up my calories a little on ride days to help replenish for the calories I burn, at least maybe a snack shortly before I head home to make sure I have a bit more energy.
