Two Hundred Twenty-Two

Here's a link to a map of a loop I often ride on weekends:

The distance is about 48 miles. (Drats! I thought it was closer to 50.) I usually do one loop with two water bottles, stop by the house, refill the bottles, and repeat. The terrain is a combination of rolling hills and flats. There are a few stop lights on the way out and several stop signs, which I always stop for (and ewe should too).

Last week I did two loops in almost exactly 6 hours, including all stops (refueling took about 10 minutes). On the first loop I got to draft behind a monster tractor towing a spreader from about mile 35.5 to just past mile 38. That was awesome!
