Cap'n Waddle,
Thanks to you for posting it in the first place.
I know (a little) about school and work wearing you out.
Look at it this way, I also may never again be able to do what
I used to do on the bike - and I sucked to begin with.
Even if your long ride is 2 hours, at least you are riding it
and enjoying it. There are burned out guys out there who
never look at the bike again. You have your head and
your integrity intact. Plus, you can drink a beer after the
ride and not have to weigh your oatmeal and **** like that.
There's something to be said for not weighing your oatmeal.

I hope nobody posting to RBR has ever actually weighed
their oatmeal, but you never know.
