is biking for 27kms healthy?

Hi guys, yesterday my dad, my brother and me went biking to the beach and then we went through the countryside,
you know, lots of hills, up and down, rough terrain and all that;
so all in all we biked for like 27kms or 17 miles, this is the second time we do this
and now I was wondering, is all this biking healthy?.
I've seen all those biking tournaments but now that I think of it I never noticed what distances they actually go.
We always liked biking places, to the store and so, but we never did it for so long, it took us like five hours, so now we are all sore and kinda tired still,

!
Any ways, it is so cool biking on the beach and all, but you think we should do a bit less for now?,
until we get more condition or something.

That's incredible, mate.

I'm sure your arse is killing you, like.

I'm sure you could've gone further if you hadn't removed the seat.

Sicko.

Fifteen nuns in the courtyard of a convent, fighting over a bike.

Mother Superior comes out and shouts...

'Right, stop the arguments or I'm putting the seat back on'.

I've ridden a 25 km time trial in half an hour and change with my pulse an average 183bpm and my lungs threatening to exit through my left nostril with no lingering effects.
Albeit it was on some shite cattle path in a rainstorm in Belgium and not on a terrible beach resort in Mexico so maybe you should check with a doctor just to be sure.

Are you a member of the band known as Kraftwerk, or something else.
