I decided to bike up to Burlington today, which is about 18 miles from where I live. What should have been about 37 miles total of biking, via me getting lost several times, became a 70+ mile ride ending in a popped tire. I couldn't buy a pocket-sized tire pump and my regular pump didn't fit anywhere on my bike, so I didn't bring one. Ended up walking for 1 to 2 miles before getting a ride back home. I was only about 5 more miles from reaching my house, too. How sad.
This might not be that much biking for some people, but I'm hungry, fat, out-of-shape guy. This was A LOT for me.
I'm an idiot and didn't put sunblock on. I'm a bit burned. My bike, at one point, made a very serious effort to anally rape me. I also, because I wear sandals, actually stubbed my toe while going approximately 15 mph. It hurt.
EDIT: So, yeah, apparently it's only a bit over 16 miles from where I live to Burlington, so I actually only biked approximately 60 miles after all. Hooray.
