approx 6 miles each way. mrs works round the corner from me, so get to drive home in the morning. then basically drive back immediately to take her to work, then drive home again. the drive back again pm, to pick her up, then drive home again. then drive back again later pm to work. then the cycle begins again. all good fun in the scoob, and it emptys the tank every week.

12 miles door to door now. I do have to commute to a customer site from time to time which is in Leeds so 70miles away ish but this is rare.
My previous job had me driving to Lytham every day which was 110 miles a day round trip - I even bought a run about to keep the miles off the scoob for that one!

About 15 feet from bedroom to the office.

But we do a daily ten mile cycle (soon to be reduced - three steep hills and wife, 22 weeks pregnant, finally admitted she was utterly knackered!) as a way of waking up.
