Puzzle 85
Yesterday I went for a short bicycle ride around the local lakes. As the weather was very hot, I rode in shorter stages than I'd normally ride.
In the first stage, I rode half of the overall distance.
Stage two saw half of the remaining distance plus 35 metres covered.
Stage three covered three-quarters of the remaining distance.
Stage four completed half of the remaining distance plus 75 metres.
Stage five completed the journey with a final burst of 150 metres.
How far did I cycle in total?
