I may have met my limit.
I am on 47 months. I'm down to do an ECE 200 of the Nips 2 from Norwich this weekend, and despite my body succumbing to at least one of the various lurgies around, I'll give it my best shot to make a nice round four years.
Then I'm probably calling it a day. I've had enough of winter audax. It hurts, has too much impact on other things, and carries a higher risk that probably isn't justified in what is, after all, just a hobby.
So. January 2011 could be the first Randonnee free zone for me, in a long time. And if I'm too lurgied to ride this weekend, and the weather/Real Lifetm defeats me for the rest of the month, then there's something poetic about bowing out on 47 months.
