I was afraid running might be like that... I ran half-marathons, then a marathon, then a 50K, then another marathon and another 50K and have backed off. Too much time training for that, and it doesn't leave much bicycling time.
A bunch of you guys could have done the Monster Cookie 100K from where I live. Ride 30 miles to the start, do the ride, and ride back home. For me, taking a long way home some days gets me about 31 miles and I rarely go farther than that in one day. I pretty much only ride for commuting on my work days. On days off I usually have stuff to do and home and never go anywhere.
Cycle Oregon is coming to my town this year! If I'm not busy I might walk down town (1.5 miles) and see what the fuss is about. They'll be riding on my roads, and I expect they'll enjoy them as much as I do.
