I used to commute by bike 22 miles one way. If there is one piece of advice it would be to hydrate hydrate hydrate. I didn’t realize how dehydrated I was during my work shift. The bike rides were always fun for me. It was hard to do more than 3 per week. 3 was a stretch. I really used that as base fitness, there was certainly a pace that I had to maintain so that the commute wasn’t out of control long. If you can do it and additional rides, you will be crazy fit. I also think calories will help. Hydration is the key. Try adding pink salt and cream if tartar to your water bottles. Both will encourage good electrolytes back in.
