The mileage is the whole trip. In this case, each direction was 12.5 miles.


I know people do things like drive a
car to one place, leave it there and
drive to another place, then ride back
to the first car, and drive to pick up
the other car. That way they don't
cover the same ground twice.

Or park a car at one place and the
other car 25 miles away, and ride
towards each other and drive the
cars to a meeting place.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I'm sure I would be up for food and drink afterwards but probably not standing at a craps table.


I remember Ace after the 10 hour run would be covered in salt which he had to wipe off, but he wanted to sit down to a cold beer and a mountain of barbecued meat.

How do they get to the second place if they must leave their car at the first place?

Two men drive two cars to the finish line.
Leave one car.
Two men drive one car to start.
Begin.
Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

It takes two people. What's even better is
you each park at the two locations and
ride towards each other and exchange
keys in the middle and drive each others
cars to a meeting place. I did this when
I lived in CA and rode bikes, you never
have to backtrack.

I've done that hiking a few times when the distance is too long to go round trip. Handy in doing the 26-mile rim to rim Grand Canyon trail.

That's how we do kayaking in Zoar, the two car method.
Just remember to keep your keys on you, and not leave them in the start car ><

One of my crazy uncles (I have two) once had to get two cars to his office from about 10 km away. Instead of driving one to the office then taking a cab back, he drove one two blocks, then walked back to the other and drove that one two blocks. And he did that over and over until both cars reached his office.
