Make Mine a Double

I decided that Sunday would be a good day to go to the beach. Obviously I rode my bike there. I went to Myrtle beach in South Carolina.

It turns out this is pretty far away. After a few wrong turns, two dirt roads to nowhere, and one snickers bar, I had ridden about 220 miles. It took 13 hours. I sunburned my legs. I drank a lot of water and helped a box turtle cross the road.

Lots of cyclists make a goal of the 100 mile bike ride, a century. Since it was memorial day weekend, I figured I should do a century, but got a little crazy and made mine a double.
