Default travel time to gliding site / club?

Question for any */ all interested: *What is your travel time / distance
(round trip?) from home to gliding / soaring club - site? *


My glider club (and storage for my Jantar) is 90.0 miles from home on
straight rural roads with light traffic. I drive it in 1h 25m while
listening either to loud music or some kind of informative podcast.
Or, I can drive to the airport (15min) and fly down (45min) for a 1h
10m total, including preflight. The extra cost of flying is
proportional to the extra fun of flying, but sometimes we don't have
enough money to have two kinds of fun in one day.
