Hey there Chanamagoo!
Loved your story! It sort of reminds me of my entire life...You know, plan this, end up doing that kinda thing.
Well, if there's nothing else besides exercise you got out of this adventure, you've done well. However, you got alot more to boot. For one thing, you learned more about your environment and possible future routes you might take. You also had a great time, enjoying your bike. So with a day filled with exercise, education, and enjoyment, I'd say you've had a splendid day, indeed!
Auf Weidersehen!
