Takes a bit over an hour on the train - perhaps door to door 75 minutes. About 35 Kilometers. After getting on my bike imagine my suprise to find (after some training) to find I could equal that time. I can't keep up about 70 k per day for a sustained period. But it does prove the point.</p> For years, I’ve commuted by train from Ferntree Gully into the city (Of Melbourne). Takes a bit over an hour on the train – perhaps door to door 75 minutes.
