I have two places of employment, one which is nine miles, and another which is two miles. I have just attempted the nine mile, which of course is more challenging. It's a great way to start the day, and a good way to unwind on the way home. This longer route starts in my neighborhood, with some clearly delineated bike paths. It also incorporates a bike path running parallel to the freeway. I have been a fair weather biker, so it will be interesting to see how far I'm willing to go with this! I'm loving it so far.
