My old commute was 14 miles (7ish miles each way) starting on a big hill and ending on a big hill for a huge U in West Seattle to First Hill. It never failed that the wind would always be in my face. The morning wind almost always went south and in the evening it would be going north again. When it rained, it always seemed to be trying to get in my eyes haha
My current job is 20 miles away and that's just too far one way.
