I did it!
Today I rode my bike all the way to Wrightsville Beach! It was wonderful!
I crossed the bridge that had earlier caused me to think I would not be able to make this ride and then rode to one end of the beach, back to the other end, and to the center again to cross the bridge coming back. I’ve changed my previous attitude of thinking that there are NOT good roads around here to ride on, to realizing that I can bike absolutely anywhere.
I will definitely go to the beach again as it’s so beautiful and the whole ride there is really nice as well.
In total it was 32.3 miles (Wow! I can’t believe I did that – who knew?!) and it took me 2 hours and 53 minutes. Not a bad workout, eh? Next on my destination list is to go the other direction from my place, hitting Carolina Beach. I believe that ride is supposed to be about 30 miles, so now I know that I can do it.
