Funny that you made me think about that...

I went and checked on Gmaps Pedometer on some of the routes I used to ride at that age. Most were within a 5-6 mile range of home but I would go back and forth multiple times. I ran a typically day and most were in the 20 mile range. I did one that was 12 miles one way out to a friend's house more than once, he usually would meet us somewhere in between. Amazing how far we rode on those old single speed cruisers and didn't realize it.
