    Well that's a darn good reason! So sorry your head/heart/what-have-you weren't into it, but when it's not, heck, what's the point? Life's too short & all that rot.

    You did pretty damn freakin' good, love! That was practically the Death Ride in terms of mileage & climbing, yeesh!

    ( and you got sick!? Now there's a show stopper if ever there was one!)

    There are plenty more great rides to do, the key is to want to do them. I'm glad you knew when to stop

    Well done MP. I'm glad I'm reading that you stopped - not that you went offroad due to fatigue/steering issues.

    Rest well.

    What jobob said.

    You did great! And part of doing great is knowing when the returns are diminishing. Way to go MP.

    Hey, I liked that I actually got to talk to you, instead of just handing you a water bottle and some V8. And the extra set of hands was great for tearing down the rest stop.

    Maybe next year we do it together.
