travel time to gliding site / club?

One way: About 1hr 15 minutes, if I don't stop for coffee and a
biscuit.
But, if flying that day and not fettling, I'll stop and fill up the
gas tank just before arriving at the airport so the "retrieval" car
has a full tank of gas. That might add another 5 minutes or so (never
timed it.)
Distance: 57 miles (91 km) each way.

OK my 2-cents,
50 minutes each way, add 10min. and a bunch of $ for gas. 1/2 on 75mph
Freeway and the other half on fine Colorado asphalt rural roads with
14k Pikes Peak in the window. A very reasonable commute to access the
fine high altitude soaring in the Colorado Rockies to the West or the
Flat plains to the East of my club, Black Forest Soaring Society.

One mile round trip. I know I don't deserve it, but someone has to
suffer with all that extra free time.

Hi everyone :-) GR8 to have service 'back'!
Question for any / all interested: What is your travel time / distance
(round trip?) from home to gliding / soaring club - site? Not that will
make any difference to actual journey I need to take but knowing what
fellow enthusiast 'endure' to enjoy our fantastic sport / hobby will
probably make me feel 'much better' (s a factor in choosing which club
to join here in South Africa)! From my home (Benoni) must allow 4 hrs
(approx 350 Km) average for any of the 'local' clubs...
Thanks in advance. FLY SAFE! very best regards Nigel R

45 miles, 50 minutes each way from home to Cambridge Soaring Centre.

* 100 Highway Miles, 75 minutes, each way to a Commercial Op. (Too
far)
* 45 Combined Miles, 45 minutes to a Private Op. (Acceptable)

About 35 miles, 40 minutes each way to my club. There is another site I go
to that is about 220 miles away, but I only tend to go there for 3 day
weekends.

If I'm at work, I can be at the field in 10 minutes. If I want to go
to the commercial operator rather than my club, I can walk over in
about 2 minutes. From home it takes me 20 minutes to get to the
club. Now, if I only had time to fly...
