Be careful not to find yourself 7 miles away from home on your bike and too tired to keep on cycling.

Be careful not to find yourself 7 miles away from home on your bike and too tired to keep on cycling.

If that means arranging with a friend to pick you up in their car if you have to bail out, or picking a circular route that never takes you that far from home, or any other way of handling the contingency. Going "but suppose I fail!" and not trying is an even worse piece of wormtonguing than the one fubarobfusco is addressing.
