Does the 197 include the 4 miles to and from your home? If not, then according to my calculations you rode +1 over a true double . . nuthin' short about it!
The way back to the start went right by my home, so, I did a complete loop. Had I ridden to the start, I would have had 3-4 miles more. The published route was for 197 miles, so that was spot on. By 9:15 last night, I didnt feel like riding more (even though I have been known to circle the parking lot when a century came in at 99.9 miles..).
