This is the route to take from my house to work. It’s 6.5 miles. That would be 13 miles/day for training. I haven’t ridden this. The biggest impediment, besides the current 10 degree mornings is sweat. My body sweats a lot. This would give me 65 miles per week w/o extra rides. So, I’ll try it, I think, eventually. My guess for the travel time would be 40-50 minutes each way. When I road to the park, about halfway, it was 20 minutes.
