I checked 21-30. That's if I go out out my way to put in a few extra miles everyday, which I normally do. If I take the most direct route both ways it's about 19.

My commute distance varies day to day because I get bored of the same roads every day, but it stays within the 21-30 miles.

I just re-measured my route and it turns out to be 23-1/2 miles instead of the 22-1/2 I thought it was at first.

I have several routes I can take but they all seem to add up to about the same miles. thought I found a route to cut off a mile it is actualy slower then the other ways with that extra mile.

4.7 miles. And in the city, I can easily get places just as fast as cars, if not faster.

18 miles r/t. mostly bike path, but on some roads, too.
I need to get a digicam and take a pic of that damn raccoon that's been on the raod for like... going on 3 months. It looks like dried raccoon/jerky or something.
On another note, we were hanging out in the back yard last night (it was warm for once!), and a raccoon was scampering around the trees. Eesh, they're huge.

60 miles round trip. It's an adventure everyday. A few stretches are without bike lanes so I go early and haul through them to avoid the traffic. I can maximize my workout time while minimizing time away from the kids.

28 miles RT. When Night Falls, I'll only ride in the A.M. and metro back home, but I hope to make up extra miles during the weekend on my new road bike.

18 miles -- https://tinyurl.com/bl9hx
i thought it was 10 each way, but i accurately mapped it and it's 9. so i can't claim i do 100 miles a week, but with errands and things it comes pretty close.
if anyone knows denver i used to live at 8th and logan, so i'd bike the length of washington park as part of my commute, now it's up steele to congress park, but i still do wash park if i want a few extra miles or have errands that way
