The quickest route is 1.5 mile there and 1 mile back. There's a one way bit, and I have to pass work and double back. However if it 's been a crap day at work it can be 15 miles home at midnight.

One week on, one week off. The week I'm "on", it's about 10 miles to the room I rent from work. With 3 months in the middle-east every year, I'm surprised I have as many miles on the bike I do.
