Where do we all live?

Seems that there is a large concentration of commuters in London - not suprisingly!

Where do you all live and commute to/from?

I'm just outside Truro by the river Fal - my "commute" is purely for fitness and to wake me up properly each morning as it's out and back home again! Alongside a stunning river, through Truro (a "city" but a tiny one!) up to a rural valley, across a couple of fords and back again. A measly 10ish miles but with three absolute killer hills (although a lot easier than they used to be)

Utterly love the ride and can't function properly without it now.

    I'm not telling you where I live, you'll come round and burgle my cave whilst I'm at work and steal my shopping trolley

    Also, I have calculated my FCN as 12...although I have no idea what that actually means.

    Well I live in South Norwood (near the Eagles footies ground) and commute to either.......

    Vauxhall, Euston, Victoria, Thames Ditton, Docklands, Soho, Croydon, White City or Aldgate .......

    Depending on where I'm based :lol:

    I really enjoy my job as I get to vary my commute :-) The list grows every few months as the list of sites we support grows!

    It may only be 3 miles in. But it's as many miles and hills as I want on the way home.

    Thats a fair trek during the rush hour- a lot of angry traffic in there: respect due :D

    Portrush to Ballymoney (Northern Ireland) 13 miles give or take

    Though I've only just started and I'm being made redundant in December so the commuting adventure may stop very soon

    I'm not sure I do livein London?

    I live in an area controlled by a London Borough council, but postally, it is not London, but one of the counties surrounding London.

    I am not sure therefore where I live!

    I've decided to stop lurking and actually post something.

    My commute has been Wimbledon to Walton-on-Thames, but as of next week it will be Clapham Common to Walton-on-Thames.

    Don't think i've ever managed 5 days there and back though...close, but not quite.

    Luckily I manage to avoid the rush hour completely both directions.

    23miles each way, and its a really nice ride, except for the huge amount of potholes in the walsall area.
