15km kayaking, with my folding bike on top, and then 27.9km biking back, pulling the kayak behind. The biking part was hard - with the weight, every hill felt like a mountain, and I wasn't on a body of water that keeps away the heat. At the very end I bathed in Mitchell Lake. Every ride that includes jumping into the water somehow becomes much more cheerful.
The amphibian configuration with the folding bike and the kayak is extra cool! I could see that on the faces of the few people watching near Rosedale Lock, where I did the transformer act. And yet, I think I'll rarely use this configuration again, if ever. In my older setup I used to drive to the end point, leave a full size bike with a cart there, and then drive to the starting point for the paddle (example). There's some extra driving, but it's usually just a few minutes and the transforming act of the amphibian way actually takes longer. And the old setup is much stabler and safer and faster both on land and in the water.
