a double decade

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/71030184

if riding 100 miles is called a century and riding 200 is a double century, then it makes sense, doesn't it, that riding 10 miles would be a decade and 20 miles a double decade?

i rode a double decade this morning. a pre-dawn double decade! it was a moderate 41 degrees with a south-southwest wind at 5-10mph, perfect cycling weather if you wear enough clothes. the sky was overcast making the darkness all that much darker.

this was the first time in ages that i actually rode 20 miles non-stop and the first time in weeks that i actually had to climb nine-mile hill. my legs were not in hill shape. not all that surprising considering my recent riding slump. hopefully, we're done with the snow and ice so i can get back to pedalling more consistently. (20.06 miles @ 15.7mph)
