How for do you travel to work?

Well, today my boring ride was less boring. A Porsche 911 on fire.
The drivers were not hurt and were watching it burn

My commute is 6-10 miles depending on the route I take. Usually the 10-mile route is faster. Some days I think it's a crap shoot on which way I take.

These Porsches are really red hot, aren't they.

I drive 31 miles, one way, to work.
I begin my trip around 5:00 A.M., so it's dark most of the way in; not much scenery to take in.

For a very small portion of the year (about 1 1/2 months), I get to see the sun come up, which is a great way to start the day. Brilliant oranges/reds/pinks.

And then I arrive at work, and report promptly to ****.

I commute to Amsterdam daily either by car or by train. My day starts early at 04.00 o'clock. First scratch my face and take a shower then let the dogs out, make coffee, feed the dogs and at 5.15 I leave the house on my bicycle to the train station. Catch the 5.38 to Amsterdam via Schiphol Airport - this is where most others leave the train and I'll ride mostly alone on to Central station. Catch the 6.25 bus and I'll be at the Naval Station at 6.30
Now... the fun part of the day starts!

By car it's a tad easier. I only have to leave the house early enough to avoid the traffic congestion, so I'll leave at 5.45, fill her up and can start my work 40 minutes later.

Now, there you have it. I really am like an open book ...... :)

It's a very nice 30min. bicycle ride through parks with ponds, and little street where it smells toast and coffee. :)

I've been working at the same place for about 5 years now. I drive about 35 miles to work and 35 miles home. It takes about 45 minutes each way. I get to take the "turnpike" so it's a nice scenic drive. It's also good because it's not bumper to bumper traffic. It's nice and open. I can just turn on the cruise control and listen to the radio .

Fun :)

Cycled it once, and a driver almost killed me, and I am not exactly a tiny target!! :D

Hi Jur. I was always wondering... if your day starts at 04:00... when does it end?

Axlis · #33

I live about three miles from work, which is not so bad :p .

In fact, I gotta be there at 8:00....so I'd better get going soon! :rolleyes: During my work week, I only have enough time to check the forum, so I haven't posted much lately....

TheKnifeCollector · #34

I have 80-100 miles one way to work. BUT, I stay up where I work. The hospital has a place that I can stay at whilst I am working, which is GREAT! So, I stay in Boston for the 3 days I work. I am graterful for that, otherwise there is NO WAY we could work where we do, as it would be way toooooo much!!

flipe8 · #35

I'm pretty lucky in that my travels are only 8 or so miles one way. I can bike it in twenty-odd minutes and it takes about fifteen by car.

ront · #36

I have a 60 mile round trip everyday.

skcusloa · #38

I drive 40 miles to work and 41 back in a 1989 Lincoln town car with 210K miles and no ac.

I see trees on the way.

Harry White · #39

I drive about 28 miles each way to work and back home. it takes me about 50-55 minutes each way, with nothing exciting to look at except other cars. but sometimes i have to travel -- tomorrow i have to go to atlantic city, need to be there at 8:30 and its about an hour and a half away.

About a mile and half. I'm lucky.
